The Best of Times
I used to sit with him outside
We would laugh and talk for hours
While he taught this little boy
What it means to be a man, a father
Given to me, given to me
A burden to bear, a crown to wear
A pain to remind me of what I should be
A lesson to learn, a dream to earn
Please the crowd and make him proud
I'll be all can be, show that I'm worthy
He was always there
He would always care
Never leave me scared
I miss him so much...
He would never judge
Never hold a grudge
When I made my choices
He stood by me
It was the best of times
If only someone had told me
How life can fade
How kings can fall
I'd change my ways
And all the days I wasted
I'd spend with the ones that I love
I'm all alone here
I have no one
I'll face you right here
I'll come undone
In her heart I found a home
My sanctuary, a place to call my own
I was not the only one
There was also something darker inside her
Perfect in my eyes
She would always smile
Fade away with style
Standing by her bed
Out of tears to shed
She told me to remember
All our good days
It was the best of times
If only someone had told me
How life can fade
How kings can fall
I'd change my ways
And all the days I wasted
I'd spend with the ones that I love
Wounds can be opened
And all hearts can be broken
And all words left unspoken
Must then crawl to their graves
We will grow older
And our nights will grow colder
When the moment is over
It will never come back
It was the best of times
If only someone had told me
How life can fade
How kings can fall
I'd change my ways
And all the days I wasted
I'd spend with the ones that I love
It was the best of times
If only someone had told me
How life can fade
How kings can fall
I'd change my ways
And all the days I wasted
I'd spend with the ones that I love
Wounds can be opened
And all hearts can be broken
And all words left unspoken
Must then crawl to their graves
We will grow older
And our nights will grow colder
When the moment is over
It will never come back
We would laugh and talk for hours
While he taught this little boy
What it means to be a man, a father
Given to me, given to me
A burden to bear, a crown to wear
A pain to remind me of what I should be
A lesson to learn, a dream to earn
Please the crowd and make him proud
I'll be all can be, show that I'm worthy
He was always there
He would always care
Never leave me scared
I miss him so much...
He would never judge
Never hold a grudge
When I made my choices
He stood by me
It was the best of times
If only someone had told me
How life can fade
How kings can fall
I'd change my ways
And all the days I wasted
I'd spend with the ones that I love
I'm all alone here
I have no one
I'll face you right here
I'll come undone
In her heart I found a home
My sanctuary, a place to call my own
I was not the only one
There was also something darker inside her
Perfect in my eyes

How kings can fall

And all the days I wasted
I'd spend with the ones that I love
Wounds can be opened
And all hearts can be broken
And all words left unspoken
Must then crawl to their graves
We will grow older
And our nights will grow colder
When the moment is over
It will never come back
It was the best of times
If only someone had told me
How life can fade
How kings can fall
I'd change my ways
And all the days I wasted
I'd spend with the ones that I love
It was the best of times
If only someone had told me
How life can fade
How kings can fall
I'd change my ways
And all the days I wasted
I'd spend with the ones that I love
Wounds can be opened
And all hearts can be broken
And all words left unspoken
Must then crawl to their graves
We will grow older
And our nights will grow colder
When the moment is over
It will never come back
