I Do
Sam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The rain on the roof keeps on pounding
But why should I worry, why should I care
I've fixed the that leak once before
I've got friends that'll help me if I need them here
But tell me what do I do
If I can't get over you
What do I do with a broken heart
If I run out of gas on this highway
My two legs will take me where I need to go
In the middle of nowhere I'll still no where I should be running
There's peace on the road
But tell me what do I do
If I can't get over you
What do I do with a broken heart
I can pay it no mind, if only that'd work
Find someone else who will take all my hurt
Oh, but that doesn't seem like it'd make all the blues go away
So tell me what do I do
If I can't get over you
Tell me what do I do
If I can't get over you
Oh, what do I do with a broken
Oh, what do I do with my broken
Oh, what do you do with a broken heart?




The rain on the roof keeps on pounding
But why should I worry, why should I care
