i'm just searching for the best of me
is that so hard to imagine?
i thought no one could see farther than the worst in me,
and looked at me without compassion
but now i see it's all a tale
full of gross misunderstadings and grief
a cruel and casual way to be,
'tis that life without belief
and so i've resolved to live each day
as if it were my first and last
and leave behind all the joys i've known
and the pain that is my past.
