The Note (All for the Best)

Verse 1

By now you’ve come home, our house dark and empty.

You’re reading this note that I left.

I’m sorry to do this; please don’t resent me.

Someday you’ll see it was all for the best.

Verse 2

I sat at this table all afternoon wishing

I’d find the words to express

This feeling inside me that something is missing.

All I could write was it’s all for the best.

Bridge

There’s a place that I dream of where I want to be.

Where this weight on my shoulders would lift finally.

Now each voice that I hear, every face that I see,

Is just a reminder of what’s become of me.

Verse 3

Don’t be sad when you look back on my story.

My pain is now laid to rest.

I love you. I’ll miss you. Please say a prayer for me.

Forgive me but I know it’s all for the best.
