It's for the best

You didnt have to lose me

to find yourself

I wouldve helped you

through any hell

i saw you and your eyes and your light

and i treasured you laugh and

i treasured the sight

and the moments we shared were the best of my life

but im young and im dumb

for falling in love

with someone who wont keep me around

and youre young and youre dumb

for falling in love

with someone who would never let you down

and now we talk

and we say

we're still friends

but i have a passion that never really ended

even though you ended it

even though you ended us

as if we were nothing

as if i were nothing

as if im nothing to you

and all i wanted was to be with you

to be there for you

i cry for you

and im not the same anymore

im happier now

you brought me to life

and then you let me go

because it was for the best

because you werent the same

because you had things going on that you couldnt change

and you said it was for the best 

but tell me who was this good for

ive never felt more sore 

and ive cried more than i ever have before

tell me who was this good for

i always had your back

i never let you down and

we were gonna get out of this goddamn town

and young love isnt a game

its just a series of pain

and every once in a while i tell myself im done

i'll write you a letter, a poem, or a song

and i'll tell you im leaving you behind

and my heart just sighs

because

its knows im not letting you go

im not losing you

to find myself because i know

its not for the best.
