"'Deed I Do" lyrics

"'Deed I Do"

Do you know that all the love I show
Has been around the world with no place to go?
'Deed I do
I've seen it before

Do you hear that all the sounds I fear
Are just the echoes left by what I thought was dear?
'Deed I do
All that, and more

Why does all this heartbreak call me lovingly?
How does it know how to open my door?

You taught it how
What you still allow to keep the keys
We'll use them even now
They come to crawl on you
They'll haunt you for sure
Yes, they will call on you
They'll haunt you for sure

Do you see that all the parts of me
That I thought made me real, could never set me free?
'Deed I do
Most of the time

Do you know that all the grief I show
Is just the weight of thoughts that oughta let me go?
'Deed I do
Most of it's mine

How do you see all I do from way downtown?
Why did I think I should try it alone?

It's just the nature of things
Everybody sings these little solo songs
It's a bridge that brings you
Back where you belong
Where I been waitin' in line
Back where you belong
Where I been waitin' in line
