Lyrics
For The Best
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And it takes more time than ive ever had,
drains the life from me, makes me want to forget.
As young as i was, i felt older back then,
more disciplined, stronger and certian.
But i was scared to death of eternity,
i was saved by grace and destroyed by naivety,
and i lied to myself and said it was for the best.
So now faith is replaced with logic so cold,
ive disregarded what i was now that im older.
And i know much more then i did back then,
but the more i learn the more i cant understand.
And ive become content with this life that i lead,
where i drink to much and dont believe in much of anything.
And i lie to myself, and say its for the best.
Were moving forward but holding ourselves back, and were waiting on something that will never come...
Were moving forward but holding ourselves back, and were waiting on something that will never come
Were moving forward but holding ourselves back, and were waiting on something that will never come (And i lie to myself, and say its for the best)
Were moving forward but holding ourselves back, and were waiting on something that will never come(And i lie to myself, and say its for the best)
Were moving forward but holding ourselves back, and were waiting on something that will never come (And i lie to myself, and say its for the best)
Were moving forward but holding ourselves back, and were waiting on something that will never come (And i lie to myself, and say its for the best)
