What Will You Do
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.
What will you do
What will you do if you're left
on your own
What will you do
What will you do when there's
no one at home?
What will you do when I'm gone
What will you say when you're out
with our friends
Will you just play them along
And say it was better we quit in the end
What will you do
What will you do with the life
that we made
What will you say
What will you say when the memory fades?
What will you do when I'm gone
Will you admit that I'm not coming back
Will you just never let on?
You have to face it, it's nearly a fact
What will you do
What will you do?
We said we'd always be together
You said we'd have the longest run
We found that nothing lasts forever
But you'll always be the one
What will you do
What will you do here when
I'm not around
What will you do
What will you do on the days
when you're down
What will you do when I'm gone
When I'll be wandering out of this world
Will you be acting so strong
Will I be losing the fight for this girl?
What will you do
What will you do when it's over and done
What will you say?
Say it was good when we played
it for fun
What will you do
What will you do when you're
no longer mine
What will you do
Will you be laughing pretending it's fine
What will you do
What will you do with the rest
of your life?
