What do you do
What do you do when you're sure you still love someone
What do you do when you know there's still so much you've left undone
What can you do to make up for letting someone slip away
What can you do when you didn't try to make them stay
Even after all these years you're still my only regret
After all this time, you're still the one I can't forget
Everyday that I'm out here alone
I'm still foolishly hoping that you will call me home
I know it's a dream that won't come true
But I know I still want you
So many times I let you down, so many times I couldn't see
That I had nothing before you believed in me
My life had no meaning, no reason, nothing to look forward to
Now wondering is all I can do
What can I do, what can I say
To take back what happened on that day
What can I do, what can I say
So that you don't just drive away
Tell me you'd love to have me walk back through your front door
Because I don't want to wonder anymore
