The Way

(album: Dancing With A Ghost - 2010)

It was over before you said
"One step forward, three steps back."
I've been wasting time
A few more years 'til I question life
I struggled 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 though 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 it all you thought it was?
For every praise that's sung
Someone hates where it started from
But what you do defines you
'Cause all that I've died to save
Has slipped right though 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 at 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
My best is never enough. My best is never enough
My best is never enough, never enough
