lyrics

What's the matter with the world
What did I forget to do
Was it something that I said
Can I make it up to you
When did everything go wrong
Did they ever think that through
I think I heard this in a song
It was one I wrote for you
And I'm hoping that the world don't fall
And I'm holding out for something but
Oh not at all and I'm more or less hopeful
But I can't see the starry sky
Too many sorrys I don't know what to do
But it sure ain't nothing like this
What's the matter with my life
What did I forget to bring
Can you tell me what to do
God I hear so many things
I don't want to end this way
I just want to make it right
I'm afraid to live the day
And I'm scared to sleep the night
And I'm hoping that the world don't fall
And I'm holding out for someone but
Oh not at all and I'm more or less hopeful
But I can't see the starry sky
Too many sorrys I don't know what to do
But it sure ain't nothing like this
