"Not For The Best"
Written by Laura Speidell.


Will we ever be together?
Will we ever be the same?
Will I somehow forget this pain?
I thought I was over you,
For one brief moment,
But you came back again,
You never really went away...

Just when I thought it was safe to breathe
I had to catch my breath and think
Of all the times I looked at you
I wished you'd never go away
Again.
When I held you in my arms and thought
We had really found our time,
But as usual everything was lost,
And I'm still livin in my memories.

I will never forget the last time we touched,
Your arms will never fade,
Your warmth is here to stay.

Will we ever be together?
Will we ever be the same?
Will I somehow forget this pain?
I love you ever minute
Of every single day.
I tried to supress my heart,
But I somehow let it slip away.

Just when I thought it was safe to breathe
I had to catch my breath and think
Of all the times I saw your face
And you weren't even near me
At all.
When I'd hear your voice and believed
We were together at last,
But nothing worked the way I planned,
Now I see you only in my dreams.

Will we ever be together?
Will we ever be the same?
Will I somehow forget this pain?
Just when I thought it was safe to breathe,
Your memory was revived
Your face I saw again
Your voice echoed through my head
Just when I thought it was safe to breathe,
I choked,
I coughed,
I remembered you weren't mine.
