Best Of You
Foo Fighters爀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you
Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh

I've got another confession to make
I have another admission to reveal
I'm your fool
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Everyone's got their chains to break
We all have obstacles to overcome
Holdin' you
But you're my motivation to keep going
Were you born to resist or be abused?
Were you meant to fight against difficulties or to endure pain?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone taking advantage of your potential and essence?
Are you gone and onto someone new?
Have you moved on to a new person?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
I was looking for a place to rest my burden
Without your noose
Without your emotional burden
You gave me something that I didn't have
You provided me something that I lacked
But had no use
But I couldn't use it at the time
I was too weak to give in
I wasn't strong enough to surrender
Too strong to lose
But determined enough to hold onto my beliefs
My heart is under arrest again
My heart is locked up and broken once again
But I break loose
But I overcome my heartache and keep going
My head is giving me life or death
My mind is causing me to question existence
But I can't choose
But I'm unable to decide
I swear I'll never give in
I vow to never succumb to my struggles
I refuse
I reject the idea of giving up
Has someone taken your faith?
Have you lost trust in someone or something?
Its real, the pain you feel
The pain is genuine and intense
You trust, you must confess
You must be honest and open up about it
The life, the love
The meaning and purpose in life
You die to heal
You have to suffer first to heal
The hope that starts
The beginning of optimism
The broken hearts
The heartaches and suffering that lead to growth
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone taking advantage of your full potential?
I've got another confession my friend
I have another secret to share with you, my friend
I'm no fool
I'm not naive or foolish anymore
I'm getting tired of starting again
I'm exhausted from always having to start over
Somewhere new
In a different place or situation
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone taking advantage of your fullest potential?
Has someone taken your faith?
Have you lost trust in someone or something?
Its real, the pain you feel
The pain is genuine and intense
You trust, you must confess
You have to be honest and share how you feel
