Best and Brightest Lyrics

Some traits

Signaled your potential but it's too late

You can't hide every new line on your face

From all the time you've wasted to contemplate

Where did it go wrong?

We thought we'd become

The best and brightest standing o'er

What we'd achieved

But after we've grown

All our time is spent patching the wounds

That we've received

Some days

The memories confront me soon as I wake

I can picture clearly where I

Should have taken one more day

Held my tongue, sat back and waited

For the fruits of what I'd sown to come around

We thought we'd become

The best and brightest standing o'er

What we'd achieved

But after we've grown

All our time is spent patching the wounds

That we've received

We thought we'd become

The best and brightest standing o'er

What we'd achieved

But after we've grown

All our time is spent patching the wounds

That we've received
