Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody lies then tries to hide it
Everyone finds themselves in a fix sometimes

Everybody takes the cake
Everybody shows up way too late
Everyone has missed the most important day of someone’s life

We give we give, we take away We live our lives in shades of gray
We’ve figured out the words to say to get us through another day
The bottom line I’m getting to, we do the best that we can do
And the best that we can do

Forgive the ones that do the things we do

Everybody loses face
Everybody overestimates
Everybody is so realistic with somebody else’s dream

Everybody pushes back a little harder
Everybody thinks their tact is so much smarter
Everybody is so capable of things better left unsaid

We give we give, we take away We live our lives in shades of gray
We’ve figured out the words to say to get us through another day
The bottom line I’m getting to, we do the best that we can do
And the best that we can do

Forgive the ones that do the things we do

Outro—-gospel feel
Ohhhhh —-la la la la la
Ohhhh
Ohhhhh —-la la la la la
Ohhhh

And the best that we can do
The best that we can do

Forgive the ones that do the things we do
