do what's right

I don't want to let go

But I can't hold on much longer

For this feeling won't go

Yeah, it's only getting stronger

Well I wish it wasn't true

I wish I could lie to you

Tell you everything's alright

But I don't think I can

'Cause I'm just a man

Trying to do what's right

I'm just trying to do what's right

I don't want to walk away

But I can't stay here much longer

For this feeling won't change

Yeah, we're not getting younger

Well I wish it wasn't true

I wish I could lie to you

Tell you everything's alright

But I don't think I can

'Cause I'm just a man

Trying to do what's right

Said I'm just trying to do what's right

You can't stop the fire from blowing out

You can't keep the tide from going out

You can't stop the wolves from scratching at the door

You can't keep the rivers from running

Or hide from the storm that's coming

You can't find love if love ain't there no more

You can't stop the walls from closing in

Or the pain that comes bulldozing in

Or the gravity that pulls you to the floor

You can't feel what you can't feel

You just play the hand they deal

And sometimes you can't do any more

You can't do any more

Well I wish it wasn't true

I wish I could lie to you

Tell you everything's alright

But I don't think I can

'Cause I'm just a man

Trying to do what's right

Just trying to do what's right
