All That's Best In You Lyrics

Album: A Lifetime Burning

“Ok…This is all that’s best in you, a song for Elizabeth”

You’ve grown so much, you’ve come so far
I never thought we’d end up here
You know I’ve seen this picture before
Reminds me of when you were home

Sometimes you’re all I see
Sometimes you’re all I feel

Wanted to tell you goodbye
And know that you’re safe
Now that the pain is gone,
The love remains
Though all my faults turn out to be so true
I couldn’t see…
All that was best in you
All that was best in you

Worked so hard it broke your heart
Robbed you of your smile that would save the world
A friend now more for a friend I lost A friend that never left me unsure
I am sure

Wanted to tell you I lied
Oh, I made mistakes
And when I failed in life it was you I blamed
Though all my faces you could see right through
I couldn’t see…
All that was best in you

You are my hope (I’m giving in)
You are the ink under my skin
You are the day that I awake
You’d be the only chance I’d take
All I am and was before
The things I love and I adore
My handful of hope and a little more

Wanted to tell you I tried
To make it ok
With just one letter gone I lost the name
Of that little boy smiling back at you
He couldn’t see all that was best in you.

“That’s it”
