lyrics

So many lives, cross paths, and share the road for a while
Then diverge like the veins of a leaf
Moments and friends all catalogued in a file
Looking back time is a thief

Every person every place every laugh every face
I still remember, when they’ve forgotten me
But I left things better than I found them
At least that’s the way I always try to be

Lock the door one last time put the key under the mat
I’ll make sure I’m gone before you get home
Always and forever is over like that
Once again, I’m walking alone

Loving you never stopped you from hating yourself
I can’t help but feel I wasn’t enough
But I left you better than I found you
And that makes goodbye just a little less rough

Straighten my tie don’t know why it matters
Soon to be ash for no one to scatter
The world will go on, maybe a little bit sadder for a while
As I fade away

We all came from the stars, and to them we shall return
Energy can only change form
In the blink of an eye we live our entire life
Just a raindrop inside a storm

And when my time is done and all the numbers are run
There’s just one thing I hope is true
That I left this world better than I found it
That is the best anyone can do
