What Do You Do? Lyrics
I know it's bad for me, but it's what I crave
And I'm not proud of it, wish I could change
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I keep falling in and out of the same mistake
(Yeah-ee-yeah-ee-ayy)
When you keep throwing me out and taking me back again
(Yeah-ee-yeah-ee-ayy)
[Chorus]
What do you do when love is not enough?
With every touch, it hits you like a drug (It hits you like a drug)
What do you do when love is not enough?
You hold on when you know you should give up (You know you should give up)
'Cause I'm not strong enough to say goodbye tonight
So give me one more kiss even if this ain't right
(You're not good for me, you're not good)
[Verse 2]
You're not good for me, no, you're not safe
And that's what's tеmpting me, is in the chase
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I keep falling in and out of thе same mistake
(Yeah-ee-yeah-ee-ayy)
When you keep throwing me out and taking me back again
(Yeah-ee-yeah-ee-ayy)
What do you do (What do you do?)
When love is not enough? (Enough)
With every touch, it hits you like a drug (It hits you like a drug)
What do you do when love is not enough?
You hold on when you know you should give up (You know you should give up)
'Cause I'm not strong enough to say goodbye tonight
So give (So give) me one more kiss even if this ain't right
[Bridge]
And I've been fading
And my heart's been racing
And even though it feels like I'm okay
I know I need to find another way
So why do we?
[Chorus]
What do you do (What do you do?)
When love is not enough? (Enough)
With every touch, it hits you like a drug (It hits you like a drug)
What do you do when love is not enough?
You hold on when you know you should give up (You know you should give up)
'Cause I'm not strong enough to say goodbye tonight
So give me one more kiss (One more kiss)
Even if this ain't right

This type of record is one of my favourites to make – wearing my heart on my sleeve matched with a beat that makes you want to move. Sometimes we all need to escape our sadness and thoughts and be free to dance in the music.
Feeling hope through whatever it is you’re going through is a must for me, so if this is what you need right now, I hope this does it for you.
I was in the studio with [producer] Chrome Sparks and got this notion of doing a house record. He was playing around with sounds, and we got into a really deep chat about past relationships. We were talking about how sometimes you can love someone so much, but it’s not enough. When that happens, when do you know to let it go? It’s about being in toxic relationships that are really damaging because you end up becoming co-dependent. It was quite liberating to write because I think we sometimes shy away from acknowledging experiences like that.
