"Ideal" lyrics

Spring means new beginnings
But I've been here since the fall
Seems as though I've walked this path before
And the steps I take are small

But the roots survive the winter
And the warmth returns the green
If my patience grows the flowers
Then I'll wait here faithfully

Cannot help but feel the way that I feel (Cycles that never end)
No one told me 'bout the hurt before the heal (Things I can never mend)
Sometimes moving on means starting over
It's not ideal but still I know that I will deal (I-i i-i ideal)
I-i-i i-i ideal

Still I'm moving forward
Still I'm clearing out the snow
Over and over I find myself
A better version I will know

But it's hard to see it further
When the progress seems to stall
Hoping one day it gets easier
'Til I build up my resolve

Cannot help but feel the way that I feel (Cycles that never end)
No one told me 'bout the hurt before the heal (Things I can never mend)
Sometimes moving on means starting over
It's not ideal but still I know that I will deal (I-i i-i ideal)

It's the same repeat endeavor
For the same old reason why
But it's better now than never
Before the moment's passed me by

Cannot help but feel the way that I feel (Cycles that never end)
No one told me 'bout the hurt before the heal (Things I can never mend)
Sometimes moving on means starting over
It's not ideal but still I know that I will deal (I-i i-i ideal)
I-i-i i-i ideal
I-i-i i-i ideal
