All I Could Do - Kimya Dawson

[00:28.03]I had a show a few weeks ago
[00:32.06]its getting harder and harder to sing
[00:37.02]And it is hard to focus on my guitar playing
[00:41.68]playing when inside a baby is kicking
[00:49.69]At first I was sad and scared
[00:53.83]cause this is all I know how to do
[00:58.94]then John and Peter played standing up
[01:02.92]sometimes something will change and that change
[01:06.34]will change you.
[01:11.40]then I thought back to six years ago
[01:16.07]when Brian Pilkton told me to play
[01:20.93]he gave me a car, a typewriter, a guitar
[01:25.79]before that all I could do was count days.
[01:33.67]then I thought back to before my coma
[01:38.32]rehab into coma, my junkie roommates
[01:43.50]all that I knew how to do was put cigarettes
[01:48.20]out on my self, I took pills and I drank.
[01:56.23]and I thought back to when I was 15
[02:00.44]how I was squeaky clean, and I wanted to die
[02:05.51]I was feeding the homeless while combating loneliness
[02:10.25]all that I could do was keep living a lie.
[02:18.25]then I think back to that 12 year old poet
[02:22.71]how she didn't know it was what she would be
[02:27.81]all she could do was hide under her bed
[02:31.76]scared to death that somebody might read her diary
[02:40.27]see I have changed and i'll keep on changing
[02:45.21]and maybe my songwriting will suffer
[02:49.50]but its okay if at the end of the day
[02:54.50]all i can do next is just be a good mother
[03:00.03]its okay if at the end of the day all i can do next
[03:06.28]is be a good mother.
