The Way

It's over before you've said

One step forward and three steps back

I've been wasting time

A few more years 'til I question life

I struggle with answers for

Every question of why I pour

Myself into this hell

'Cause all that I've died to save

Has slipped right through your ears

And into its grave

And 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

My best is never enough

I'll tear down the wall that hides

Me from all of my alibis

Show you what you love

Isn't all that you thought it was

For every praise that's sung

Someone hates where it started

But what you do defines you

'Cause all that I've died to save

Has slipped right through your ears

And into its grave

And 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

Done with giving my everything to you

My best is never enough

If I'm made of glass

(Look through me and see past my past)

Hold by the words I speak

(A true reflection of all that's real)

No matter the pain I feel

(Something in me is something real)

That guides me when I sing

And 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

My best is never enough

My best is never enough

My best is never enough

My best is never enough

Never enough
