Best I Can Be

from Life Of A Building Downtown by CA Smith

lyrics

I took a risk when courting you
And I always told the truth
But I guess my best
Wasn’t good enough for you
You made me see the best in me
I know you saw it too
But I guess my best
Wasn’t good enough for you

I felt indestructible
I could do anything
The only thing I couldn’t do
Is make you wear my ring
You warned it would end poorly
You were right, the blues I sing
And I remember

You said, “no”
You weren’t ready for love
I thought I’d prove you wrong
And never let you go
Now it’s been so long
You have me beat
But you have made me strong
And you won’t see
The best I can be

I always looked my best
And only spoke when spoken to
But I guess my best
Wasn’t good enough for you
You made me think I was bright
In turn, I offered proof
But I guess my best
Wasn’t good enough for you

You made me see the light in me
I believed you when I said
“Anything is possible
Just don’t ask me to wed”
I knew this day would come
But now while we were sharing
A bed together

You said, “no”
You weren’t ready for love
I thought I’d prove you wrong
And never let you go
Now it’s been so long
You have me beat
But you have made me strong
And you won’t see
The best I can be

I moved across the world for you
Because I said I’d do
But I guess my best
Wasn’t good enough for you
I’d do anything asked of me
If you had told me to
But I guess my best
Wasn’t good enough for you

The best gift you had given me
Was one of self-esteem
I knew how good a man could feel
When you had chosen me
My next lover has her work
Cut out for her until then I’ll be lonely

You said, “no”
You weren’t ready for love
I thought I’d prove you wrong
And never let you go
Now it’s been so long
You have me beat
But you have made me strong
And you won’t see
The best I can be
