The Best Of It

Photo by Anastasia Pottinger

Watch the sunlight move

Into your room

Watch the shadows

Become a part of you

You hide away

For one more day

You hide away

It's just one more day

The watercolor sky

The world passing by

Sit and wonder why

You won't even try

Time will move

Without you

And time will choose

What's become of you

And all of it

Wasn't quite enough

And the best of it

Wasn't good enough

And if there was a time

The answers fell in line

It's just a memory

Of what it used to be

When it was clear

Why you were here

When it was clear

Why you were here

'Cause all of it

Isn't quite enough

And the best of it

Just isn't good enough
