Kimya Dawson - All I Could Do Lyrics
I had a show a few weeks agoIt's getting harder and harder to singAnd it is hard to focus on my guitarPlaying when inside a baby is kickingAt first I was sad and scaredCause this is all I know how to doThen John and Peter played standing upSometimes something will change and that changeWill change you.Then I thought back to six years agoWhen Brian Pilkton told me to playHe gave me a car, a typewriter, a guitarBefore that all I could do was count days.Then I thought back to before my comaRehab into coma, my junkie roommatesAll that I knew how to do was put cigarettesOut on my self, I took pills and I drank.And I thought back to when I was 15How I was squeaky clean, and I wanted to dieI was feeding the homeless while combating lonelinessAll that I could do was keep living a lie.Then I think back to that 12 year old poetHow she didn't know it was what she would beAll she could do was hide under her bedScared to death that somebody might read her diarySee I have changed and I'll keep on changingAnd maybe my songwriting will sufferBut it's okay if at the end of the dayAll I can do next is just be a good motherIt's okay if at the end of the day all I can do nextIs be a good mother.
