Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried my best that I could do
Just to find out I was never yours
I hang on to the words that you said
And I held out when my world was lost

I can do so, yeah I can do so
Yeah I can do so much better
I can do so, I can do so

I can do so much better

I tried my best that I could do
Just to find out I was never yours
I hang on to the words that you said
And I held out when my world was lost

I can do so, yeah I can do so
Yeah I can do so much better
I can do so, I can do so
I can do so much better

'Cause I can do so, yeah I can do so
Yeah I can do so much better

I can do so, and I can do so
I can do so much better
