Best of Me

Best of Me

Time ticks by
As I slip away
And this is all I know
And this is all I feel
A sense of failure fills me

I can’t hold on
This is too much. Too great
I can’t stand by
This isn’t real
It isn’t me

Let go. step down
See their faces frown
Disappointment is what she writes
And this is real
This is how I feel
Let me go
And I’ll let you know
When the feeling comes back

You’re so sure
You always know
And I’m so uncertain
You think you would see
This is killing me
But I won’t let you see
It’s taken over me

I know what you want
You want me to be
What you were
You know where I hide
Where I go to cry
And if I could- I wouldn’t believe you anymore
There’s nothing left
All I’m left with is doubt

Despite my attempts to ignore you
As you sit by and adore me
When I know the truth is you abhor me
Deep down you deplore me
And if I could- I wouldn’t trust you anymore
There’s nothing left
Your wicked heart still gets the best of me
