lyrics

Doing The Best That I Can
(Alice Olsen)
This house is too big for one broken heart,
That's lonesome and feeling torn up.
I see you everywhere from our bed to your chair,
To your "have a nice day" coffee cup.
And each one's a pain that reminds me again,
Of how I'm so lost without you.
I wish you were here to laugh at my fears,
And tell me what I need to do.

Chorus:
So I'm planting the garden and plumbing the sink,
Trying to keep busy so there's no time to think,
Cause if I do, it will be about you,
And that hurts more than I can stand.
I'm just DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN.
I'm just DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN.

The day that you died was the worst in my life,
There's no getting over that.
Now I'm taking each day one step at a time,
Two forward and sometimes three back.
Without you everything's unfamiliar and new,
I miss you at every turn.
This life on my own, and being alone,
It's a lesson that I hate to learn.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
And I call up our friends or I go for a ride,
Trying to escape what I feel deep inside,
But you know that there's never a place I can hide,
From the tears I never cried.

Repeat Chorus

Tag:
They say time heal all things,
I hope that's really true,
For now I'm DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN,
Learning to live without you.
