For the Best Lyrics

Catching Breaths between moments as a suck back the tears

Staring blankly at boiling pots I recount my years

How much heartbreak? How much sacrifice to get to this place?

Was it worth abandoning all the dreams left to chase?

But they call for me in the middle of the night.

Little hands reach out for me and I know my life is right

Even when I'm tired of always coming last

I see them grow and I know—it's for the best.

Running from one crisis to another, counting hours 'til dark

Stirring, scrubbing, scraping while my back is breaking just like my heart

Does anybody notice how I'm falling?

Do they even care?

Don't complain, just keep your head up.

It's not meant to be fair.

But they smile at me and I know I'm doing fine

I might be invisible but I'm theirs and they are mine

Even when I'm tired of always coming last

I see them grow and I know…

That they call for me in the middle of the night

Little hands reach out to me and I know my life is right

And when I hear their laughter I can't help but feel blessed.

Cause I see them grow and I know—it's for the best
