It's for the Best

And it takes more time
Than I've 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 certain

But I was scared to death of eternity
I was saved by grace but destroyed by naivety
And I... lied... to my...self
And said... it... was for... the best

And now faith is replaced
With a logic so cold
I've disregarded what I was
Now that I'm older
And I know much more
Than I did back then
But the more I learn
The more I can't understand

And I've become content with this life that I lead
Where I drink to much
And don't believe in much of anything
And I... lie... to my...self
And say... it's... for... the best

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come
(I... lie... to my...self)

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come
(And say... it's... for... the best)

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come
(I... lie... to my...self)

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that will never come
(And say... it's... for... the best)
