Whatever

Godsmack

And I wonder day to day
I don't like you anyway
I don't need your shit today
You're pathetic in your own way

I feel for you, better fuckin' go away
I will behave, better fuckin' go away

I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best I ever did

I don't need to fantasize
You are my pet, all the time
I don't mind if you go blind
You get what you get
Until you're through with mine

Life, I feel for you, better fuckin' go away
I will behave, you better go away
I feel for you, better fuckin' go away
I will behave, you better go away

I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best I ever did
Now go away

I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best I ever did
Now go away

I'm doing the best I ever did (go away)
I'm doing the best that I can (go away)
I'm doing the best I ever did (go away)
I'm doing the best that I can (go away)

I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best I ever did
Now go away

I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best I ever did
Now go away

I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best I ever did
Now go away

(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

I'm doing the best I ever did (go away)
I'm doing the best that I can

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
