When It's All For the Best

you said that it's all for the best,
that it's just what i needed
[the last word - even over my own]
and i couldn't argue.

when i left for a while,
it wasn't taken lightly, and i didn't know
how to sweeten it for you [or anyone]
and no one understood [understands]
and i'll just float on, resembling what i was
and what i know, what i've always said.

i never came back [never came back]
-you decided this
-you didn't catch it all in time
-you decided this
i never came back [never came back]

it'll all be okay
i'll be just fine
we'll be okay
-you decided this [and you decided this?]

i'll trickle out, one by one [all my voices]
they drip out and walk away,
slow steps.
lamenting, it isn't so much as what you think
or what i make it out to be [maybe]
but i'm alone [i'm alone alone alone]
and there's a light on somewhere.

and it'll all be okay
i'll be just fine
-you decided this [and you decided this?]
