It's For The Best

Straylight Run

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 myself

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 too much and don't believe in much of anything

And I lie to myself

And say, "It's for the best."



We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back

And we're waiting on something that will never come

We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back

And we're waiting on something that will never come



(We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back

And we're waiting on something that will never come)

And I lie to myself

And say, "It's for the best."



(We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back

And we're waiting on something that will never come)

And I lie to myself

And say, "It's for the best."



(We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back

And we're waiting on something that will never come)

And I lie to myself

And say, "It's for the best."



(We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back

And we're waiting on something that will never come)

And I lie to myself

And say, "It's for the best."

And I lie to myself

And say, "It's for the best."
