Lyrics

[Chorus] What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? [Verse 1] Thought I was alone in the world Until my memories gathered 'round me in the night Thought I was strong Until I finally had to fight If I kept my head down And showed up to work on time and watched my appetite Put the money in the mattress Lock the doors at night, and we'd all be alright [Chorus] What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? [Verse 2] See I've made mistakes that I can't erase Some of the love I've lost will not come back to me I broke my word, I lied on a Bible Just to feel a little free She didn't deserve it; nobody ever deserves it But I cut anchor and I drifted out to sea And you found me busted and somehow you trusted I was not what I could be [Chorus] What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? [Verse 3] We climbed to safety, you and me and the baby Sent our thoughts and prayers to loved ones on the ground And as the days went by We just stopped looking down, down, down The world's on fire and we just climb higher Till we're no longer bothered by the smoke and sound Good people suffer and the heart gets tougher Nothing given, nothing found [Chorus] What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself? What've I done to help? What've I done to help? Somebody save me What've I done to help? What've I done to help? And not myself?
