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
