Lyrics
Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
It used to be all about me...
when I was single and free
But time has a way of leaving a mark
And the world I once knew, was torn apart
CHORUS
But I never gave up on you
do what you gotta do
Try to Do what's right, every night and day
Is what my old man had to say,
Interlude (Instrumental Intro)
Verse 2
Unaware that I didn't know,
Just a fool, not to think it'd show,
Once you came into my life, & I knew
I'd hand it all over to you
CHORUS
But I never gave up on you
do what you gotta do
Try to Do what's right, every night and day
Is what my old man had to say,
Because it all comes back in the end
