How Far You've Come Lyrics
You'd have a wonderful day
If you could see how lucky you are
Now don't get carried away with your heart
You're better where you are
You're not the only one
Who's failed to hang on to a moving star
Now don't be sorry, what's done now is done
And this is who you are
These days feel numbered and long
There's no one to speak of
There's no one at all
But you're not the reason that everyone's gone
That's not how they are
There's no system to change
No conditions are made
No permissions to start
Now don't go drawing lines in the sand
That's not who you are
Sometimes a high wall, is just a wall
Sometimes it's only there to make sure you feel small
Or may be there to save you from the depths of a much deeper fall
The truth will not set you free
It's ok to believe that you're not good enough
God is not angry, not blind, deaf or dumb
He knows how far you've come
If you could see how lucky you are
Now don't get carried away with your heart
You're better where you are
Who's failed to hang on to a moving star
Now don't be sorry, what's done now is done
And this is who you are
There's no one to speak of
There's no one at all
But you're not the reason that everyone's gone
That's not how they are
No conditions are made
No permissions to start
Now don't go drawing lines in the sand
That's not who you are
Sometimes it's only there to make sure you feel small
Or may be there to save you from the depths of a much deeper fall
It's ok to believe that you're not good enough
God is not angry, not blind, deaf or dumb
He knows how far you've come

this song really just reminds me that sometimes when things don't work out, it's often for the best... and that it's not my fault.
Same here. It's about accepting defeat sometimes.
It's my favorite Wallflowers song.
