The Way

It was over before you said,
""One step forward, three steps back.""
I've been wasting time,
a few more years till I question life
I struggle with answers for
every question to why I've poured
myself
into this hell

Cause all that I've died to save,
has slipped right through your ears
and into its grave.

If you only knew what I do,
you'd realize there's a curse that's upon you
and I can't stand the way, the way, the way,
you look at me.
The way, the way, the way,
my best is never enough.

I'll tear down the wall that hides
me from all of my alibis
Show you what you loved,
isn't all that you thought it was
For every praise that's sung
someone hates where it started from
but what you do,
defines you

All that I've died to say,
has slipped right through your ears and into its grave

If you only knew what I do,
you'd realize there's a curse that's upon you,
and I can't stand the way, the way, the way,
you look at me
The way, the way, the way,
my best is never enough

I've given my life
I've given my time
I've given my everything to you
So now I'm giving you up
I'm finally getting it right
I'm done with giving my everything to you
My best is never enough...

If I'm made of glass,
look through me and see that my past
told by the words I scream,
a true reflection, a promise ring
No matter the pain I feel,
something in me, it's something real
that guides me
when I sing

If you only knew what I do,
you'd realize there's a curse that's upon you,
and I can't stand the way, the way, the way,
you look at me
The way, the way, the way,
my best is never enough.
