[Verse 1]

Too many cracks in the marble

Like sapphire diamonds in the rough

You know, life's like a circle (Life's like a circle)

Eventually, dust turns back to dust

Things you can't imagine remind you of what you've always had

Maybe they need to happen, so you know the worst ain't all that bad

[Pre-Chorus]

So blow out the candle, another year gone

Wishin' to Heaven to rewrite the wrongs

And I'll buy a new canvas, turn a new page

Same old picture, brand new frame

Ghost in the mirror, tell me a lie

If I'm supposed to be here, why do I cry? And I'll

[Chorus]

Take what's left and build a bridge again

Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend

My own best friend

[Verse 2]

Might have taken the long way

Prayin' there's proof up in the sky

Got high on the bad days

Met a man on the moon, but I'm still halfway to Mars and I'll

[Chorus]

Take what's left and build a bridge again

Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend

And I might be down, but I'm not dead

Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend

My own best friend

[Post-Chorus]

(My own best friend)

[Pre-Chorus]

Ghost in the mirror, tell me a lie

If I'm supposed to be here, why do I cry? And I'll

[Chorus]

Take what's left and build a bridge again

Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend

And I might be down, but I'm not dead

Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend

My own best friend

[Post-Chorus]

(My own best friend)

[Outro]

Why do I cry? And I'll

Ghosts in the mirror tell me a lie

Take what's left and build a bridge again

If I'm supposed to be here, why do I cry? And I'll

My own best friend

Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend

My own best friend
