The Best I Am
Verse 1 Some days I wish it all was over If I were that lucky, maybe I’d be free Other days I look at you and know it You don’t have to say it, you still choose me
If I could sing, I’d write you a song But my voice was never worth much anyway So I’ll settle for the best I can do Just show up and love you every day
Pre-Chorus ‘Cause I’m not a hero, I’m not that strong But I know where I belong
Chorus And the best that I am is you Yeah the best that I am is you I don’t have much, but I do my best And every broken part I lose When I’m standing here next to you Yeah the best that I am is you
Verse 2 Some days I wake up ready to conquer the world Some days I’m just trying to make it through But every road I’ve ever walked Always somehow leads me back to you
Pre-Chorus And I don’t know how you do what you do But you make me something new
Chorus ‘Cause the best that I am is you Yeah the best that I am is you I don’t have much, but I do my best And every broken part I lose When I’m standing here next to you Yeah the best that I am is you
Bridge So baby, let’s reminisce We’ve got a thousand good memories And when the world comes crashing down I’ll be right there standing next to you
So let’s not be enemies Let’s not be enemies, no Some things are deeper than words can go And I hope you never know how deep it goes ‘Cause if you ever did, it’d be too late to close
So stay on the edge, just ride the line Some kinds of love are better left undefined
Soft Chorus ‘Cause the best that I am is you Even when I don’t know what to do I don’t have much, but I do my best And every broken part I lose When I’m standing here next to you Yeah the best that I am is you
Outro So maybe never know just how deep it goes Just know it’s true, and it’s always you Yeah the best that I am… is you
