lyrics

All I Can Do
Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
©2018 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP

No one knows better than you
Sometimes I don’t know what to do
So I pretend that everything’s normal
That’s the way I have learned to get along

What I know you can read on my face
Better now I cut to the chase
Because I know, I’m going away
Not that I want to, but I need to
—I should say

Chorus:
It’s all I can do, to keep telling you
that we all deserve devotion,
and true emotions
everyone deserves someone
that helps them get along

You watched the rise, tumble and fall
and what remains after it all
is that you’re free, to do what you’re wanting
you always seemed to know
what you want to do
At the door, packing my case
It’s always sad, leaving a place
where you belonged
I’m sure I know that it will be all right
I say that when there’s nothing I can
do about it now

[Chorus]
But it’s all I can do. . .

I wish that I could say what I mean
But it all gets knotted up in between
what it might have been,
and what it ought to be
and what it was I should have done
more carefully

No one knows better than me
but I don’t expect you’ll agree
because I know that sooner or later
it’s gonna come back to what it was before

[Chorus]
It's all I can do. . .
