All I Could Do Lyrics - You Got Me Singing - Amanda Palmer

I had a show a few weeks ago 

its getting harder and harder to sing 

and it is hard to focus on my guitar 

playing when inside a baby is kicking 

At first I was sad and scared 

cause this is all I know how to do 

then John and Peter played standing up 

sometimes something will change and that change 

will change you.

then I thought back to six years ago 

when Brian Pilkton told me to play 

he gave me a car, a typewriter, a guitar 

before that all I could do was count days. 

then I thought back to before my coma 

rehab in Tacoma, my junkie roommates 

all that I knew how to do was put cigarettes 

out on my self, I took pills and I drank. 

and I thought back to when I was 15 

how I was squeaky clean, and I wanted to die 

I was feeding the homeless while combating loneliness 

all that I could do was keep living a lie. 

then I think back to that 12 year old poet 

how she didn't know it was what she would be 

all she could do was hide under her bed 

scared to death that somebody might read her diary 

Photos 

see I have changed and I'll keep on changing 

and maybe my songwriting will suffer 

but its okay if at the end of the day 

all i can do next is just be a good mother 

its okay if at the end of the day all i can do next 

is be a good mother.
