Non-Absorbing Lyrics

[Chorus]
Do you see me? (Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Like I see you? (Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Do you see me? (Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Like I see you? (Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Do you see me?

[Verse]
Time lost, can't ever understand
The lines like most
We wants to be alone
We can't be alone

[Chorus]
Do you see me? (Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Like I see you? (Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Do you see me? (Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Like I see you? (Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Do you see me?

[Bridge]
Can't believe the things we ask for
Can't believe the things we want
Do you see more than I do?
Do you see me?
Do you see more than I do?
[Chorus]
Do you see me? (Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Do you see me?
Do you see me? (Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Do you see me?

[Outro]
Do you see more than I do?
Do you see more than I do?
Do you see more than I do?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
