All That's Best In You

Album: A Lifetime Burning

OkThis is all thats best in you, a song for Elizabeth

Youve grown so much, youve come so far
I never thought wed end up here
You know Ive seen this picture before
Reminds me of when you were home

Sometimes youre all I see
Sometimes youre all I feel

Wanted to tell you goodbye
And know that youre safe
Now that the pain is gone,
The love remains
Though all my faults turn out to be so true
I couldnt 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 couldnt see
All that was best in you

You are my hope (Im giving in)
You are the ink under my skin
You are the day that I awake
Youd be the only chance Id 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 couldnt see all that was best in you.

Thats it
