Best I Can
Art of Dying Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight I feel like the world won't miss me
So much to say but there's no one listening
If we're alone are we all together in that

I threw a penny in a well for wishing
Prayed for all the things I think I'm missing
A little time is all I really need
I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do
The best I can
The best I can

A second chance to give you something
It takes a lifetime to come from nothing
I refuse to believe in running away, no

I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you
I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know I think you're worth it
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can
The best I can

I got a picture of what matters and I keep it close to my heart
It's a little faded but so am I

Cause I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you
I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know I think you're worth it
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can
The best I can
The best I can
The best I can

And I'm doing, oh I'm doing the best I can
I am, I'm doing the best, oh the best I can




The best I can, oh the best I can
Oh I keep doing, keep trying

Lost my best friend 5 months ago in a tragic situation no one should have to go through and still doing what I can to fight to be in her young child's life to share memories of her. This song gives me strength to go on and fulfill what she would want.

I almost start crying every time i listen to this song, but am holding it because i know one day will be better for me and for all of you listening to this song or similar songs. Just hold on on something you love and one day, everything will be better or at least believe in that. Thats what is holding me from doing something else to myself.
