There was a bike I used to ride
The brakes were iffy, I often fell off
But I know
It was for the best
It was for the best
There was a girl I used to like
She made me laugh all the time
She had her doubts and I had mine
But in the end it just wasn't right
And I know
It was for the best
It was for the best
There was a truck I used to drive
But I didn't pay attention and it took a dive
I learned to fly
I learned to fly too soon
And I know
It was for the best
It was for the best
Things were nicer with my Dad alive
I used to cry all the time
I used to cry too much of the time
But I know
He deserved some rest
It was for the best
It was for the best
And I'm older now
So much wiser now
It was for the best
It was for the best
It was for the best
And I know now
That it was for the best
