Magnolia Grove - Best of Me Lyrics

I felt something inside that seems so familiar
In a way that is so strange
Is it a glimpse of what could have been true
In a world that's far from real
Or is it a sign
That I can still redo my life
Or a sweet distraction from the bitter truth
That I'm stuck in this path

It was just a second of reality
Before it was reduced into a memory

I've never gotten this far
With this kind of thoughts
I should have saved myself before I caved in
I did not lose one thing
Yet I started to feel this empty
Inside of my chest I feel
There is a void that I can never fill
It seems that I have to live this hollow life
Until I learn to forget

When trying to help myself doesn't change a thing
When the struggle can't keep me from sinking

From all of these
Is there a way out
Or through all of these
Will relief ever be felt

When the time comes
What will I become
Will I grow strong
Or will I ever be more broken

The best of me is gone for now
Will it ever return
I don't know when
I don't know how
The best of me is gone for now
Will it ever return
I don't know

But no matter how heavy this pain seems to feel
There must be a reason my tears refuse to fall
Maybe it's just a bad dream
A clear picture of all my fears
One moment I'll wake up
And all the pain is gone
I would open my eyes
And see a brighter light
That would show me the way
To what I dreamed to be my life
And all that I need
Is to give what I have
There'll be no reason to feel
That I'll be never enough

Sooner or later
Everything that I have hoped for
Will be within reach
The moment I grasp on the the things that I wanted
Is the only time I'd let my tears run down my face

Sooner or later
Will it ever return?
Sooner or later
The best of me is gone for now
Will it ever return?
I don't know
