"Sometimes Your Best Ain't Good Enough"

Do you sometimes feel like you’re down in a hole
And you just can’t seem to get out of it
Everything goes wrong, nothin’ ever goes right
And there’s no way that you can change it
It’s true that every cloud does have a silver lining
But sometimes the lining is full of rain
And sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel
Is just the light of an on-coming train
(CHORUS)
No matter how high you climb somebody’s there to pull you down
Try to sink or swim when you know you’re gonna drown
Sometimes it’s so hard and sometimes it’s so tough
And baby, sometimes your best ain’t good enough
Have you waited so long for your ship to come in
That your dock finally collapsed on you
And did you finally feel like you were on cloud nine
Only to fall off once a hard wind blew
Do you try real hard and do you try your best
Still it seems like life won’t cut you no slack
Well they say it’s always darkest before the dawn
but it’s really darkest before it’s black
(BRIDGE)
Just hang in there things have got to change
What you don’t like, you can rearrange
Just remember your life is what you make
So make the best of it for your own sake
(OUT-CHORUS)
No matter how high you climb somebody’s there to pull you down
Try to sink or swim when you know you’re gonna drown
Sometimes it’s so hard and sometimes it’s so tough
And baby sometimes your best ain’t good enough
