Jill Ledet - What Can You Do lyrics

What can you do when you're up so high and you can see below what can you do when you fall in the grasp of a power play when what they say isn't true when all that you'd done was for good...when all that you'd done was for good It isn't that you didn't know what to say, it's that you stood in the doorway just a little too long it's that no matter how you did it that you'd be wrong so you did you're best and kept a smile and talked yourself through the sea of deep extraction of surfacing toxin coming out at you You have to step aside, and out of the way Chorus oh and I saw it and kept quiet deep inside, there was really nothing I could do but keep playing my song it's all I had for you I talked till I was blue in the face, I have nothing left inside it's all out on the table I lay here with fragments of tomorrow it's all been said, and it's been done, I'm just a little devastated over the latest spear....I'm learning to take them out one by one I probably pushed my welcome a little too far like an inexperienced social child Chorus oh and I saw it and kept quiet deep inside, there was really nothing I could do but keep playing my song It's all I had for you Now I lay me down to rest the trickling water coming out louder than the sirens during the day I hear every drop so what did you have to prove to humiliate me or to try and make me look bad for you don't let it bring you down so you that you don't remember your name or frozen in time don't let it bring you down wait it out wait it out till dusk when all has gone home and silence has drowned it Chorus oh and I saw it and kept quiet deep inside, there was really nothing I could do but keep playing my song it's all I had for you (repeat) It isn't that you didn't know what to say, it's that you stood there in the doorway just a little too long it's that no matter how you did it that you'd be wrong so you did your best and kept a smile What can you do when you're up so high and you can see below
