Well, the darkness takes up too much of that empty hearted place
Forced to live a life of just surviving every day
And I'm sorry that I wasn't better for you
And I never really said it, but darling, I adored you
And I couldn't save my life, but I knew that I could yours
And if I did it all again, well, I'd probably stay the course
'Cause I couldn't bring myself to be the bearer of a death
Of a life that hadn't had the time to live itself out yet
So take care, take heed
Take the best of me
Forge ahead, Godspeed
Take care, take heed
I left unfinished business, but it always was that way
And I did the best I could by you throughout my final days
There are so many things we left unsaid
Things that I can see from here, that dance inside your head
But just be careful of the path you take and always watch your back
Try your best to make up for what that cold world lacks
Revenge will rip you up and take its toll
And I'd hate to see it tear apart the kindness in your soul
So take care, take heed
Take the best of me
Forge ahead, Godspeed
Take care, take heed
A life lived brutally
For scarce immunity
Tried to protect you from that world
It may be hard to take
But don't let your spirit break
I've always got you, baby girl
So take care, take heed
Take the best of me
Forge ahead, Godspeed
Take care, take heed
