Verse 1 They say, “It’s for the best” Like that should make it easy Like knowing where this road might lead Could change the reason why you left me Maybe time will prove it right Maybe I’ll understand But tonight the “best” feels nothing like The life I thought we’d planned Chorus If this is for the best Why does the best hurt this bad? Why does letting go feel more like losing Everything I thought we had? Maybe someday I’ll look back And see what I can’t see yet But I don’t have to call it good To believe it’s for the best Verse 2 Maybe “for the best” Doesn’t mean it had to happen Maybe “for the best” Means this won’t be the end Maybe I’m just fooling myself That we could still be lovers and friends Still, I find it hard to believe That this is for the best Chorus If this is for the best Why does the best hurt this bad? Why does letting go feel more like losing Everything I thought we had? Maybe someday I’ll look back And see what I can’t see yet But I don’t have to call it good To believe it’s for the best Bridge There’ve been times I called it heartache Then looked back and called it grace Things I never would have chosen Led me to a better place So maybe I don’t need the answers Maybe time will do the rest What I only know as losing now I may someday call the best Final Chorus But If this is for the best Why does the best hurt this bad? Why does letting go feel more like losing Everything I thought we had? Maybe someday I’ll look back And see what I can’t see yet But I don’t have to call it good To believe it’s for the best Outro I don’t have to call it good To believe it’s for the best
