The Best That I Can Give Lyrics

If you're reading this then I'm long gone
Wish I'd had the strength to prove you wrong
But instead I broke your heart of glass
Some things I guess you can't get...
Back when we started, before the storm came
I gave you "sometimes", you needed "always"
Thought we were fine, but you saw it first
Now I can give you the life you deserve

So goodbye, love
Hang on to the long night
There's beauty in the sunrise
And you will find that goodbye
Is the hardest thing that I could do
After all the pain I put you through
It's the best that I can give
The best that I can give to you

It's so hard to see it come to this
When the truth is blinded by the wish
Instead of bending, I just watched you break
And now it's too late
Back when we started, before the storm came
I gave you "sometimes", you needed "always"
Thought we were fine, but you saw it first
Now I can give you the life you deserve

So goodbye, love
Hang on to the long night
There's beauty in the sunrise
And you will find that goodbye
Is the hardest thing that I could do
After all the pain I put you through
It's the best that I can give
The best that I can give to you
Oh
We'll always have this after the broken
All that was given is not forgotten

So goodbye, love
Hang on to the long night
There's beauty in the sunrise
Goodbye is the hardest thing that I could do
After all the pain I put you through
It's the best that I can give
The best that I can give to you

If you're reading this then I'm long gone
Wish I'd had the strength to prove you wrong
But instead I broke your heart of glass
Some things I guess you can't get back
