Jake Dollery - What Do I Say? Lyrics

In a town where dreams look for someone to cling to
I'll tell you a story of a boy I once knew
His mother lied to him his entire life
Living all his years on the edge of a knife

His father was strong but not knowing his son
Too long at the office and no time for fun
Then the quarrels began between mum and dad
Stuck in the middle not knowing good from bad

So what do I tell him?
What do I say?

So mum and dad went their separate ways
And that's when his life went astray
He entered a world of pleasures and pains
The highs and lows flowing through his veins

As a man he was just a scared little boy
Spiralling up and down into a void
Trying to drink himself out of this whole
Again and again spinning out of control

So what do I tell him?
What do I say?

The last time I saw him he was covered in blood
He died at thirty nine all he needed was love

So what do I tell him?
What do I say?
