Best of Me
A Day to Remember Lyrics

What'd you expect from me?
You had certain expectations from me, but I couldn't deliver what you wanted.

It's not my fault you'll never be happy
Your happiness does not depend on me, and I cannot be blamed for it.

Just 'cause you're right doesn't mean I'm wrong
You may be right in your own way, but that doesn't make me wrong either.

Our days were numbered and we knew it all along
We always knew that our time together was limited and would eventually come to an end.

Can't you let things be?
Can't you accept things as they are and stop causing unnecessary drama?

Now all that's left is misunderstandings
Our relationship is now full of misunderstandings because we failed to communicate effectively.

Spent my nights wishing I was gone
I spent my nights contemplating leaving and moving forward without you.

My dad was right, we will never get along
My father predicted that we would never get along, and he was right.

So I'm done, 'cause things could never be the same
I have decided to move on because our relationship can never go back to the way it was before.

This is the last time, this is the last time you'll ever burden me
This is the last time you will have an impact on me negatively. I am done carrying the weight of our broken relationship.

I can't believe you got the best of me
I can't believe how much you were able to control and manipulate me.

I can't believe I trusted every word you said
I can't believe I put so much trust in you without questioning your actions.

Stretched myself out way too far
I went too far in trying to please you and now realize it's not healthy.

Now I can see you for who you are
I can finally see your true colors and understand your real intentions.

It's all finally making sense
Everything is coming together and making sense now that I see the bigger picture.

You took what's left of my innocence, oh no
You took away the last bit of naivety and innocence I had left about relationships.

Can't you act your age?
Can't you act more mature and not let your emotions cloud your judgment?

Is it that hard to say what you're thinking?
Why is it so difficult for you to express your thoughts and feelings instead of causing conflict?

Lately my life's moving way too fast
My life has been moving too quickly and I need to slow down and establish healthier relationships.

You'd drag me down if I'd let you hold me back
You have been holding me back from reaching my full potential and I can no longer tolerate it.

What a mess you've made
You have caused an unnecessary mess in my life because of your actions.

And you hide from it at the bars you frequent
You try to numb your pain by drinking and going to bars instead of confronting the issues.

Blamed myself avoiding time this cost
I have been blaming myself for the time and effort I put into our relationship that ultimately failed.

But looking back you only learn from what you lost
I can only learn from the mistakes made in this relationship by reflecting on what I have lost.

I will never be the one you want, no I will never be the one you want (oh oh oh oh)
I can never be what you want me to be, and I have finally accepted that.

Finally come to terms that I can't stop, no not this time (ye, yeah)
I have finally come to the realization that I cannot fix our relationship, no matter how hard I try.
