What've I Done to Help Songtext
von Jason Isbell

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

What've I done to help?
What′ve I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

I thought I was alone in the world
Until my memories gathered ′round me in the night
I thought I was strong until I finally had to fight
If I kept my head down, and showed up to work on time
Watched my appetite
Put the money in the mattress
Lock the doors at night, and we'd all be alright


What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

What've I done to help?
What′ve I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

See I′ve made mistakes that I can't erase
Some of the love I′ve lost will not come back to me
I broke my word, I lied on a Bible just to feel a little free
She didn't deserve it, nobody ever deserves it
But I cut anchor and I drifted out to sea
You found me busted and somehow
You trusted I was not what I could be

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What've I done to help?
What′ve I done to help
And not myself?


What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

We climbed to safety, you and me and the baby
Sent our thoughts and prayers to loved ones on the ground
And as the days went by we just stopped looking down, down, down
Now the world′s on fire and we just climb higher
Until we're no longer bothered by the smoke and sound
Good people suffer and the heart gets tougher
Nothing given, nothing found

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What've I done to help?
What′ve I done to help
And not myself?

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?
What've I done to help?
What′ve I done to help?
Somebody saved me

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What've I done to help?
What′ve I done to help
And not myself?

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?

What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help?
Somebody saved me
What′ve I done to help?
What've I done to help
And not myself?
