What do you when the person
with all the answers
doesn't know how to run
their own life?
What do you do when the strong,
become weak.
And the truth turns
into lies?
What do you do with a person,
who used to fly so high?
Now she's broken her wings,
and she lays on the ground,
lookin for someplace to cry.
What do you do when nothing goes right,
and everything just feels wrong?
When your whole world turns up side down,
and you just don't feel strong.
What do you do with someone,
who lost their only love?
Only to come to realize,
life truly goes on.
What do you do with the one you love,
when they find somebody new?
You hold your head up high, and walk on by,
like it doesn't bother you.
What do you do with a bird that won't fly,
do you lock him in a cage?
What do you do with tears that won't dry,
do you just hide them away?
And what do you do
when the words just don't ryhme?
When you're looking for something
you can't seem to find,
or you just change your mind.
What do you do with a heart,
that's been broken so many times?
It no longer beats, it only bleeds,
hoping to make up for lost times.
What do you do when everything's changed,
you've become someone new?
All you want is just to go back,
but no one is there for you.
What do you do with a bird that won't fly,
tell me what do you do with love?
