What Am I Doing There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Written by Buddy Brock & Zack Turner (?)
I no longer know what's real anymore
In the back of my mind I have opened the door
That leads to the past & the love we once shared
I keep asking myself what am I doing there
(Chorus:)
What am I doing there holding you tight
Taking down your hair lying close by your side
Making believe that you still care
My new life is here what am I doing there
I don't get much rest with the secrets I keep
And I'm afraid that some night oh I'll talk in my sleep
How could I explain to the one lying here
She's loving me now what am I doing there
(Repeat chorus)
