My Own Best Friend

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

So blow out the candle, another year gone
Wishing 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 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

Might have taken the long way
Praying 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 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
My own best friend

Ghost in the mirror, tell me a lie
If I'm supposed to be here, why do I cry?

And I'll 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
My own best friend

Why do I cry?
And I'll take what's left (ghost in the mirror, tell me a lie)
And build a bridge again (if I'm supposed to be here, why do I cry? My own best friend)
Oh, and I'll take the steps (and I'll take what's left)
To be my own best friend (and build a bridge again)
My own best friend
