The Best You Could Lyrics

I couldn't understand you then

How what you said and what you did

Could ever be defended

And why you were never around

Why bitterness was your best friend

I think I understand you now

Somehow

You took your wounds and raised a wall

If no one saw your suffering

How could you ever fall

Grief had made a ghost of you

Could you even love the way

That you wanted to

If love was a language never taught to you

Then life was a teacher cold and cruel

I wanna tell you what I wouldn't

Walking out the door

I know you did the best you could

I know you did the best you could

If I'm ever on your mind

Know I hope you found the peace

That's been so hard for you to find

I think there's goodness yet to grow

May you come and find the mercy

You were always meant to know

If love was a language never taught to you

Then life was a teacher cold and cruel

I'm gonna tell you what I should have

Walking out that door

I know you did the best you could

I know you did the best you could

I know you did the best you could

I know you did the best you could
