Lyrics

You look for the icing on the cake I try to interject and tell you It’s been there all along But the window has a glare And distracted now you stare At the parts of the display that look like they belong Please don’t give up on me I might not be what you want me to be But I’m the best I’m the best I’m the best Version of me Let me take the time to warn you If we’re going on a guilt trip I will need better shoes I’ve done the best I can And I’ve never asked for handouts I’ve got far to go and nothing left to lose Please don’t give up on me I might not be what you want me to be But I’m the best I’m the best I’m the best Version of me Let me take you for a ride Tell me while you’re by my side That you got my cards and letters Every time I hear you say I didn’t turn out the right way I know that I’ve done better I’ve done better than you think Digging graves is hard work When you’re fighting with the dead Telling them you lived a better life But the shovel in your hand Is a toothpick in the sand In an hourglass that doesn’t care whether you’re right Please don’t give up on me I might not be what you want me to be But I’m the best I’m the best I’m the best Version of me Let me take you for a ride Tell me while you’re by my side That you got my cards and letters Every time I hear you say I didn’t turn out the right way I know that I’ve done better I’ve done better than you think Please don’t give up on me I might not be what you want me to be But I’m the best I’m the best I’m the best Version of me
