My Very Best Lyrics

What did I learn?
Life is a lousy school
Feel for the right words
Like steps from the swimming pool
I got in my head
I wish it was easy
Put on my cowboy hat
Lasso the future
And show you what's in the trap
As small as a mouse

And I could tell you
Not to be quite so kind
And I could tell you
How love and sadness rhyme

But I don't know
You're born into this mess
If I do my worst
If I do my very best
I did it all for you

I'm done being reckless
Making the stories that
Are good for a dinner
But deep down you know they're bad
For everything else in your life
I will go crazy
I'll carry all this weight
But nobody's burdened
In fact, baby you carbonate
The blood in my veins

And I could tell you
That Jesus won't come back
Or I could tell you
To keep the sweet faith you have

But I don't know
You come in all brand new
If my shadow's long
Don't let it fall on you
Yeah, I don't know
You're born into this mess
If I do my worst
If I do my very best
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
(I did it all for you)
(I did it all for you)
