Best of me

Loving you—wasn’t easy

Times were hard…

But I won’t admit defeat.

You gave me looooooooove—!

And I gave you heartbreak

You had your own set of issues—but me?

I know my anger prolly hit the best of me

I ain’t mean it…

Can’t lie, girl, now I see

You got the best of me…

I got the worst part of you

But I ain’t here to place no blame, girl that’s the truth

We both scarred up, got our wounds from youth

But somehow your touch still felt like proof

Of something real…even if we broke it

Now we quiet in rooms we used to fill with emotions

Reminiscin’ off the wine and devotion

Now it’s just silence and slow sippin’ potions

(But) I still got your name on my phone

Swear I try to move on, but I scroll and I fold

Tryna write a new song but your voice in the tone

Guess the past got a grip on my soul

I hurt you – (hurt you) … but I still want you next to me (next to me)

Left bruises on a promise, yet your heartbeats remedy (remedy)

Girl, I’m sorry – (so sorry) … let me stitch what we let bleed (we let bleed)

’Cause loving you’s the only time my soul feels free – stay with me (stay with me…)

Remember when I used to touch you just to calm your storms?

We were makin’ love just to quiet all our inner wars

Now we barely speak, just stare at different doors

But every silence feels like it sayin’ even more

I hate that I know your triggers ’cause I pulled ’em

You hate that you loved a man who was still broken

Tried to hold you with hands that never felt golden

Now I’m tryna pray over wounds that I opened

I ain’t perfect, I won’t pretend

But I’d spin the block just to try again

Swear I miss your warmth, miss your laugh, miss your scent

Miss the way you used to say my name like it meant somethin’

(Yeah…)

Still got your name on my phone

Even changed my ringtone

Swear it’s hard to let go

When your love’s in my bones

I hurt you – (hurt you) … but I still want you next to me (next to me, yeah)

Left bruises on a promise, yet your heartbeats remedy (ooh remedy)

Girl, I’m sorry – (so sorry) … let me stitch what we let bleed (we let bleed)

’Cause loving you’s the only time my soul feels free – stay with me (stay with me…)

You got the best of me (best of me)

And I was blind to see

Now I just dream of peace

In a world where it’s still you and me…

(Yeah… yeah…)

You got the best of me…

Girl, I got the worst part of you

But if we meet again, I’ll do it better, true…
