The Best Part

There’s a part of me that's angry

There’s a part of me that’s sad

And the worst parts I let go of

Always seem to come right back

Between my expectations

And all the things I've done

I can’t even appreciate how far I’ve even come

And I’m running from a fear that I’m not ready to unpack

I feel like an imposter with a target on my back

I lie awake for hours

Can’t seem to catch my breath

Where did I go wrong?

What did I expect?

I wonder

Why, oh, why?

Did it take so long?

To realise

That life’s too short

To waste on closing doors

There’s only so much time, friend

So put your hand in mine and

Hold on to the best parts

I'm tired of my bullshit

I’m tired of my bluffs

I want another blank slate 'cause I think I've said enough

I wanna carve a new path and make my parents proud

But what if I’m too honest and it all comes out too loud?

If God is really with me, why do I feel so alone?

'Cause every time I pray, I get another busy tone

There's blood out in the streets now, and I can't look away

I’m waiting for a pulse, a feelin' I can’t fake

I wonder

Why, oh, why?

Did it take so long?

To realise

That life’s too short

To waste on closing doors

There’s only so much time, friend

So put your hand in mine and

Just breath in slow

And ride the highs and lows

'Cause I've got a handful of reasons

That get right to the heart

So hold on to the best parts

Hold onto the best parts

Hold onto the best parts

When everything falls apart

Hold onto the best parts

When all of your dreams go dark

Life’s too short

To waste on closing doors

There’s only so much time, friend

So put your hand in mine and

Just breath in slow

And ride the highs and lows

'Cause I've got a handful of reasons

That get right to the heart

So hold on to the best parts
