What Am I Doing This For
Diving into the deep end, just to prove a point.
Holding onto the wrong end, trying to ease my mind.
I don't know how it feels
But I know how it's supposed to be
All the right things made up. One big wrong
No one ever told me, this, would take so long
Everybody wants.
What they don't deserve
Baby that's why this hurts
If I can't think on my own
If I can't speak on my own
If I can't work on my own
Then what am I doin' this for?
If I can't drink on my own
If I can't walk home alone
If I can't live on my own
Then what am I doin' this for?
You gotta treat me right, to see the other side
I can see your point as you drive it through my eye
I'm not sure how to say it
I guess that's how you wanna play this
"Baby" he said "come back."
"I don't know why you feel attacked
You can have it all, just not the one you want to call.
Baby I can't remember, when I said forever"
If I can't think on my own
If I can't speak on my own
If I can't work on my own
Then what am I doin' this for?
If I can't drink on my own
If I can't walk home alone
If I can't live on my own
Then what am I doin' this for?
Holding onto the wrong end, trying to ease my mind.
I don't know how it feels
But I know how it's supposed to be
All the right things made up. One big wrong
No one ever told me, this, would take so long
Everybody wants.
What they don't deserve
Baby that's why this hurts
If I can't think on my own
If I can't speak on my own
If I can't work on my own
Then what am I doin' this for?
If I can't drink on my own
If I can't walk home alone
If I can't live on my own
Then what am I doin' this for?
You gotta treat me right, to see the other side
I can see your point as you drive it through my eye
I'm not sure how to say it
I guess that's how you wanna play this
"Baby" he said "come back."
"I don't know why you feel attacked
You can have it all, just not the one you want to call.
Baby I can't remember, when I said forever"
If I can't think on my own
If I can't speak on my own
If I can't work on my own
Then what am I doin' this for?
If I can't drink on my own
If I can't walk home alone
If I can't live on my own
Then what am I doin' this for?
