Do What You Can
Art of Dying Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess I gave my best for the both of us tonight
They?re not just words to me, so listen when I speak;
I?ll see this through

Do what you can
Do what you need
Do what you like
We?re not so far away

Do what you can
Do what you need
Do what you like with me

It?s your turn to rise
Occasion will call you out tonight
You?re not just somebody I met along the way
I?ll keep coming through for you

Do what you can
Do what you need
Do what you like
We?re not so far away

Do what you can
Do what you need
Do what you like
Do it with me

No love isn?t justice, don?t get confused
It?s not always convenient
You just have to choose
Do you believe

We?re not so far away
We?re not so far away

Do what you can
Do what you need
Do what you like
We?re not so far away

Do what you can




Do what you need
Do what you like
