ALL YOU CAN DO

Why are you so hard on yourself?
When in your life did you decide
You had to be so tough
And nothing else was good enough for you

You have your weak points and you’re strong
And sometimes you’re right and sometimes wrong
But life has seemed so rough
Now you’ve really had enough of you

But there’s nowhere else to go
For the only one to know, is you

Maybe what you’re hiding
You feel you don’t deserve
maybe you’re avoiding
That feeling deep inside – Of You
And all you can do

There’s no need for this pain
For there’s no one to blame, on you

What are you trying to avoid
Is there something you are trying to hide
So you can talk up a storm
And drink your way to dawn – it’s true

But what do you want for yourself
Why is it everybody else
You got things you wanna do
Things, just for you – you know it’s true

But what gets in the way
New distractions every day - from you

Maybe what you’re hiding
You feel you don’t deserve
Maybe you’re avoiding
That feeling deep inside – Of You
And WHAT you can do

Take your life in your hands
do the best that you can – for you!
