Art of Dying Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So much to say but there's no one listening
If we're alone are we all together in that
I threw a penny in a well for wishing
Prayed for all the things I think I'm missing
A little time is all I really need
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do
The best I can
The best I can
A second chance to give you something
It takes a lifetime to come from nothing
I refuse to believe in running away, no
I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you
I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know I think you're worth it
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can
The best I can
I got a picture of what matters and I keep it close to my heart
It's a little faded but so am I
Cause I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you
I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know I think you're worth it
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can
The best I can
The best I can
The best I can
And I'm doing, oh I'm doing the best I can
I am, I'm doing the best, oh the best I can
The best I can, oh the best I can
Oh I keep doing, keep trying

They seek a little time and a chance to wish for what they think they're missing, hoping that it can give them a second chance. But despite feeling like they are coming from nothing, the singer refuses to give up and run away. They express that they are doing the best they can with everything they are, and they understand that nobody's perfect. The singer believes that the person they are singing to is worth the effort they are putting in and they will continue to try their best, as they reflect on what matters to them and keep it close to their heart.

Lost my best friend 5 months ago in a tragic situation no one should have to go through and still doing what I can to fight to be in her young child's life to share memories of her. This song gives me strength to go on and fulfill what she would want.

I almost start crying every time i listen to this song, but am holding it because i know one day will be better for me and for all of you listening to this song or similar songs. Just hold on on something you love and one day, everything will be better or at least believe in that. Thats what is holding me from doing something else to myself.
