Intro

I had a plan that you and I would go off into eternity

We d drive away and never ever come back, yeah

I had it all worked out and I wished on my lucky star that

Everything I hoped and dreamed would all come true

Then my mama came up to me and said

Baby dont wish your heart out cuz I

Dont want you to have to learn the hard way that

Well, baby, sometimes

You re not always gona get your perfect story

Not everything will turn out as they seem

Just gotta keep moving, pushing, climbing

Till the pieces come together

I know how hard it is to not lose faith

When everything is not going your way

But you really got to think about it

And well maybe its for the better

I drove into school on Monday, the day when you and I were gona fly

And I stood there waiting for you to come along

I watched you pull up in your car and get out and

walk over to your friends

You didnt even see me standing there waiting for you

I felt like running and hiding and crying

And never showing my face again

I felt like there was no hope in anything ever turning right again

Because

You re not always gona get your perfect story

Not everything will turn out as they seem

Just gotta keep moving, pushing, climbing

Till the pieces come together

I know how hard it is to not lose faith

When everything is not going you way

But you really got to think about it

And well maybe its for the better

I stayed up all night thinking bout how

Everything had gone all wrong

Felt like I would never ever see the sun again

I tried to think and bring something good out of it

And so now at least I know

You re not always gona get your perfect story

Not everything will turn out as they seem

You re not always gona get your perfect story

Not everything will turn out as they seem

Just gotta keep moving, pushing, climbing

Till the pieces come together

I know how hard it is to not lose faith

When everything is not going you way

But you really got to think about it

And well maybe its for the better, well, maybe its, maybe its, maybe

its for the better
