All I Could Do |
I had a show a few weeks ago |
It’s getting harder and harder to sing |
And it is hard to focus on my guitar playing |
When inside a baby is kicking |
At first I was sad and scared |
'Cause this is all I know how to do |
Then John and Peter played standing up |
Sometimes something will change |
And that change will change you |
Then I thought back to six years ago |
When Brian Pilkton told me to play |
He gave me a car, a typewriter, a guitar |
Before that all I could do was count days |
Then I thought back to before my coma |
Rehab in Tacoma, my junkie roommates |
And all that I knew how to do was |
Put cigarettes out on myself, I took pills and I drank |
And I thought back to when I was 15 |
How I was squeaky clean and I wanted to die |
I was feeding the homeless while combating loneliness |
All I could do was keep living a lie |
Then I think back to that 12 year old poet |
How she didn’t know it was what she would be |
All she could do was hide under her bed |
Scared to death that somebody might read her diary |
You see I have changed and I’ll keep on changing |
And maybe my song-writing will suffer |
But it’s okay if at the end of the day |
All I can do next is just be a good mother |
It’s okay if at the end of the day |
All I can do next is be a good mother |
