whatever you do

brandi carlile

if i don't owe you a favor

you don't know me

i don't believe we've ever even met

if there's a god in heaven you can show me

then i guess i should admit i lost the bet

there are moments i could hold you forever

there are moments that lasted way too long

there are days when i change with the weather

to hold you in place would be wrong

there's a road left behind me that i would rather not speak of

and a hard one ahead of me too

i love you

whatever you do

but i got a life to live too

i never met a morning i could get through

with nothing on my breath to hold the night

and i never said i'm sorry but i meant to

i never met a coward i don't like

there are reasons why the body stays in motion

but at the moment only demons come to mine

there are days when i could walk into the ocean

with no one else but you to leave behind

there's a road left behind me that i would rather not speak of

and a hard one ahead of me too

i love you

whatever you do

but i got a life to live too

there's a road left behind me that i would rather not speak of

and a hard one ahead of me too

i love you

whatever you do

but i got a life to live too
