What Can You Do

What can you do when you're up so high and you can see below what can you do when you fall in the grasp of a power play
when what they say isn't true when all that you'd done was for good...when all that you'd done was for good
It isn't that you didn't know what to say, it's that you stood in the doorway just a little too long it's that no matter how you did it that you'd be wrong
so you did you're best and kept a smile
and talked yourself through the sea of deep extraction of surfacing toxin coming out at you
You have to step aside, and out of the way

Chorus
oh and I saw it and kept quiet deep inside, there was really nothing I could do but keep playing my song
it's all I had for you
I talked till I was blue in the face, I have nothing left inside it's all out on the table
I lay here with fragments of tomorrow it's all been said, and it's been done, I'm just a little devastated over the latest spear....I'm learning to take them out one by one
I probably pushed my welcome a little too far like an inexperienced social child

Chorus
oh and I saw it and kept quiet deep inside, there was really nothing I could do but keep playing my song
It's all I had for you

Now I lay me down to rest the trickling water coming out louder than the sirens during the day
I hear every drop
so what did you have to prove to humiliate me or to try and make me look bad for you
don't let it bring you down
so you that you don't remember your name
or frozen in time
don't let it bring you down
wait it out wait it out till dusk when all has gone home and silence has drowned it

Chorus
oh and I saw it and kept quiet deep inside, there was really nothing I could do but keep playing my song
it's all I had for you
(repeat)

It isn't that you didn't know what to say, it's that you stood there in the doorway just a little too long
it's that no matter how you did it that you'd be wrong
so you did your best and kept a smile

What can you do when you're up so high and you can see
