Know It Best

I saved myself this time
Looked to you to make me whole
But you were out of sight
I've seen it once before
I looked into my mother's eyes
I know the feeling
I know the sacrifice
And when I gave it all
And when you left me there to cry
I called her up
She told me say goodbye
Some things are not meant
And they taught me that
If I could love you
Through all the good and bad
My friends were all there
They held my hand instead
And now I know it
I think I know it best
I prayed all year, for the first time
That if it's hard, can it at least be mine?
I've had it once before
Do things like this ever come twice
If I can grab it
I know to hold it to the light
And if I know it all
Can you please tell me when I'm wrong
If I do one thing
I'm gonna do it right
Some things are not meant
And they taught me that
If I could love you
Through all the good and bad
My friends were all there
They held my hand instead
And now I know it
I think I know it best
I've seen it once before
I looked into my mother's eyes
I know the feeling
I know the sacrifice
And when I give it all
For a love above the rest
I think I know it best
