Best Of Me Lyrics
Chrisette Michele
Lyrics
saw you again at the parlor
crossin' the walk with your lady
I caught your eye from afar off
I noticed she wore a ring, mmm
I found a smile against my will
wish it was genuine
I put away my desire
no more in love with you still
look i'm movin' on, ohhhh
(chorus)
loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me, uhh
we departed broken hearted, I need to be free
what we had was oh so lovely, I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me
can't be the time to be beggin'
can't be the time to plead, no
my mama made me much wiser
whats mine will be just for me, yeah
I'm tyrin' hard just to focus
I'm cryin hard to sleep, yeah
promised I'm glad your happy
when It's my time it will be
look I'm movin' on, eww hew hew
(chorus)
loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me, uhh
we departed broken hearted, I need to be free
what we had was oh so lovely, I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me
mmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm
oh my, why have I been just so foolish all this time,
(not realizin') not relizin' the beauty that your eye's once saw in mine?
I geuss It's time to find the best in me ee ee
(chorus)
loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me, uhh
we departed broken hearted, I need to be free
what we had was oh so lovely, I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me ee
ohhh oh oh oh the best of me ee ee ee ee
