What Can I Do

[Verse 1] Each dream I carry slips beyond my hands A paper boat drifting from the shore Every road I choose turns into unfamiliar land And the door I knew is not there anymore [Pre-Chorus] I call your name into the empty room But only dust comes falling from the frame I keep believing morning will arrive soon While every answer sounds exactly the same [Chorus] What can I do, what can I do When yesterday won’t let me through? What can I do, what can I do When all the colors fade to blue? I gave my heart, I gave my truth Still I’m standing here without you What can I do, what can I do When nothing feels the way it used to? [Verse 2] The old coat hanging by the kitchen light Still holds the shape of where you used to be I hear the floorboards speaking late at night Like some forgotten promise calling me [Pre-Chorus] I tried to mend the silence with my hands I tried to turn the clock and start again But every thread unravels where it stands And every road comes back to where it ends [Chorus] What can I do, what can I do When yesterday won’t let me through? What can I do, what can I do When all the colors fade to blue? I gave my heart, I gave my truth Still I’m standing here without you What can I do, what can I do When nothing feels the way it used to? [Bridge] Maybe the night will loosen its hold Maybe this wound will learn to close I’ll keep one match against the cold And walk wherever the morning goes [Final Chorus] What can I do, what can I do I can take one step beyond the blue What can I do, what can I do I can let the broken hour move through I gave my heart, I gave my truth Now I’ll find a road that leads me through What can I do, what can I do I can become someone new [Outro] Someone new I’ll become someone new
