The pain is raw but the love is real
So hard is hurt and yet so easy to feel
Well I burnt my soul and I drank me numb
To hide the stranger that you'd become
And all along I'd been a stranger too
I've been a thousand things but now I'm just like you
Spent so many days here with my head in my hands
Telling other people things that only you'd understand
And I
I do whatever I can…I do whatever I can
Chorus
But oh forever is a long long time
Oh forever is a long long time
Oh forever is a long long time
And all my life I've been trying
To hold my own, to hold my head up high
Hey pretty darling’, come on make me smile
Help me recover some of that little lost child
That hides in my heart while I'm here dealing with this pain
And it's just waitin’ in the sun and I'm here standin’ in
the rain
But I do a little somethin’ for the way that I feel
It ain't nothin too particular it ain't no big deal
But it brings me some happiness yeah and it gives me some hope
It's been thinkin’ about you babe's been helpin’ me cope
And now I
I do whatever I can…I do whatever I can
Chorus
Well it stuck in my mind because it's somethin that he said
He said, "If you can't live your own life then you're better off
dead"
Now you may live your own life for the rest of your days
But now sometimes the light of that life is taken away
And you
You do whatever you can…you do whatever you can
Chorus
Oh my God what have you done?
To this father and his son?
