I may cough in the morning
So blow out the candle, another year gone
I wish it were heaven to rewrite the wrongs
And I'll buy a new canvas, turn a new page
Same old picture, brand-new frame

Ghosts in the mirror tell me a lie
If I'm supposed to be here, why do I cry?

And I'll
Take what's left and build a bridge again
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend
My own best friend

I've taken the long way
Praying there's proof up in the sky
Got high on the bad days
Met a man on the Moon, but I'm still halfway to Mars

And I'll
Take what's left and build a bridge again
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend
And I might be down, but I'm not dead
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend
My own best friend

(My own best friend)

Ghosts in the mirror tell me a lie
If I'm supposed to be here, why do I cry?

And I'll
Take what's left and build a bridge again
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend
And I might be down, but I'm not dead
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend
My own best friend

(My own best friend)

Why do I cry? And I'll
Take what's left and build a bridge again
(Why do I cry? And I'll) my own best friend
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be my own best friend
My own best friend
