Something Good

Everything I've ever owned

And anyone I've ever known

It all goes to shit

and I can't handle it

it was in the palm of my hand

now its a grain of sand

something little

something stupid

Something good

and i knew it

I had the world at my feet

and now its just another secret to keep

Something to fade

something never made

something that grew

something that i knew

something i would keep forever

because that's how long I wish we were together

I would have thrown away

anything of mine

I would have gone astray

from anything I'm deprived

I would tell any lie

I would fall from any sky

I would fall in any grave

to keep all the promises that I made

For anything thats good

anything that you've ever had

keep it in your heart

don't let it go bad

For anyone that you've ever loved

give it all your trust

For anyone that you've ever hated

It was what you made it

Love comes with agony

and that's what took half of me

Trust comes with agony

And that's what took the laugh out of me

I would break down any wall

to have your love again

I would take any fall

To have your trust ascend

What we had

Was something good

And what we'll never have

Is something we should
