[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
