Begin, you know no sin,
To start, you are pure of heart,
But now, your mind runs wild.
Everything was, nothing is,
Because you settled for less.

Love has no boundary, yet you hit the top,
No more was left, you had all there was to offer,
Yet, you settled for less,
Even though, you had all the best,
There was nothing, nothing to stop her.

Give it up, this life isn't for you,
You're a has been, a was,
And now, a never will be,
Because, there is no because,
You just couldn't be me.

There isn't a good, there is no evil,
What is, is, what was, never has been,
Look forward to nothing, look back at what?
Settle for less, you know what you've seen,
Sometimes the best, is not what you need.

Never give in, never lose hope,
Sometimes though, a lot of times, I wanted to,
But I didn't settle for less, I knew how to cope,
I looked to someone, whose heart is true,
Who'd let me know, this time the best is mine.

The sun shone again, the clouds receded,
What was cold rain, now refreshed,
The darkness filled with light,
A terrible night no longer believed,
Once I knew, I didn't have to settle for less.
