For The Best
Ebony Loren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things are going wrong
You won’t pick up phone and
I can’t get ahold of
The you I used to know
Don’t try to act so sad now
You made me feel bad
How did you just now find out?
PRE
We’re standing in the rain
You start to feel the pain
That things are are gonna change
We can’t stay the same
That blue look on your face
No you don’t have to say it
This is better anyway
CHORUS
We don’t have to try
To fix what’s broken
Your heart has spoken
Let’s say goodbye
It’s for the best
Just forget the rest
(It’s for the best
Just forget the rest)
VERSE 2
Stop acting so clueless
Cuz I’ve got a long list
Of all the things you did
To make me feel down
I’m done with the drama
No I ain’t your mama
You should go and find her
Cuz I won’t be around
PRE
And now you wanna cry
You start to wonder why
I wanna say goodbye
Was a matter of time
Save all your tears cuz
You’ve stolen some years
I’m getting out of here
CHORUS
We don’t have to try
To fix what’s broken
Your heart has spoken
Let’s say goodbye
It’s for the best
Just forget the rest
(It’s for the best
Just forget the rest)
We don’t have to try
To fix what’s broken
Your heart has spoken
Let’s say goodbye
It’s for the best
Just forget the rest

Don't pretend to be upset at this point

How did you just now find out?
Why are you only realizing it now?
We’re standing in the rain
We are present in an unpleasant situation

That things are gonna change
That the circumstances are going to be different

We cannot remain unchanged

Stop acting so clueless
Stop pretending to be unaware
Cuz I’ve got a long list
Because I have a lengthy record
Of all the things you did
Of all the actions you performed
To make me feel down
To cause me to feel sad or depressed
I’m done with the drama
I am finished with the unnecessary conflict
No I ain’t your mama
No, I am not your mother
You should go and find her
You should go and locate her
Cuz I won’t be around
Because I will not be present
And now you wanna cry
And now you desire to cry
You start to wonder why
You begin to question the reason
I wanna say goodbye
I want to bid farewell
Was a matter of time
It was simply a question of time
Save all your tears cuz
Preserve all your tears because
You’ve stolen some years
You have taken away some years
I’m getting out of here
I am leaving this place
We don’t have to try
We don't need to make an effort
To fix what’s broken
To repair what is damaged
Your heart has spoken
Your emotions have communicated
Let’s say goodbye
Let's bid farewell
It’s for the best
It is the most favorable outcome
Just forget the rest
Simply disregard everything else
(It’s for the best
(It is the most favorable outcome
Just forget the rest)
Simply disregard everything else)
