I Do I Did

I do it for the birds that chirp in the morning I do it for the dealers that pass me by calling I do it so that I can cope with that little hope I do it for the hole in my heart I don't know where it all start I do it cause I'm just playing my part I did it because I was once lonely I did it so they can tell my story I did it left them in the past my homie I did it so the curtains would be on me They don't see the red I see I did it for the waves in the sea For my reflection is the only judgment of me I do it for that smile I hold so dear I do it to be aware of my fear I did it so my path can be clear I did it so that I can keep you near I do it for the oxygen in the air I did it so I won't die without no care I did it because I needed a sacrifice I did it for a better life I do I can't wait to say that to my wife I do for you anything without giving a voice What would you do it for?
