Best
Gracie Abrams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost my whole appetite
When I could come to life, I didn't
You were there all the time
You're the worst of my crimes
You fell hard
I thought, good riddance
I never was the best to you
I never was the best to you
I never was
I never was
Used to lie to your face
Twenty times in a day
It was my little strange addiction
But you still tried to stay
While I'd self isolate
And I knew, but I stayed hidden
I never was the best to you
I never was the best to you
I never was
I never was
I never was the best to you
I never was the best to you
I never was
I never was
And I destroyed every silver lining you had in your head
All of your feelings, I played with them
Go ahead, we can just call it conditioning
We were too different
You were so sensitive
Now I feel terrible about how I handled it
And now I
Now I bet you resent all of me, all of it
Angry, blocking me over the internet
Promise, I don't forget all of my fault in this
'Cause look at me, I'm alone, sitting here, staying home
All of my self control kinda got difficult
But I deserve it though
I deserve it though
You were there, all the time
You're the worst of my crimes
You fell hard
I thought, good riddance
I never was the best to you
I never was the best to you
I never was
I never was
Oh, I never was the best to you
I never was the best to you
I never was
I never was

The singer is admitting to not being the best partner to their significant other and acknowledges their own flaws and mistakes within the relationship. The singer recognizes that their actions have hurt their partner and caused them to feel resentment towards them.

Line by Line Meaning
I was bored out my mind
I was extremely bored and had nothing to do
Lost my whole appetite
I lost my desire to do anything and stopped caring about my usual pursuits
When I could come to life, I didn't
When I had the opportunity to engage with life, I chose not to and remained passive
You were there all the time
You were always present and available to me
You're the worst of my crimes
My mistreatment of you is the worst thing I have ever done
You fell hard
You fell in love with me deeply and I took advantage of that
I thought, good riddance
I was pleased that you were no longer in my life
I never was the best to you
I was never good enough for you and never treated you well
Used to lie to your face
I used to deceive you by lying directly to your face
Twenty times in a day
I lied to you repeatedly throughout the day
It was my little strange addiction
Lying to you became a habit and an addiction for me
But you still tried to stay
Despite my lies and mistreatment, you still attempted to make the relationship work
While I'd self isolate
I would distance myself emotionally and physically from you
And I knew, but I stayed hidden
I was fully aware of my actions, but chose not to confront them
And I destroyed every silver lining you had in your head
I ruined any positive thoughts or feelings you had about our relationship
All of your feelings, I played with them
I manipulated your emotions and took advantage of your vulnerability
Go ahead, we can just call it conditioning
Our dynamic was a result of long-term conditioning, rather than true love and affection
We were too different
Our personalities and values were incompatible
You were so sensitive
You were deeply affected by my actions and words
Gave me the best of that, I was so negligent
You gave me your best effort and love, but I neglected and mistreated it
Now I feel terrible about how I handled it
I regret my actions and feel immense guilt for how I treated you
Now I bet you resent all of me, all of it
I believe that you now hate and blame me for everything
Angry, blocking me over the internet
You have become angry and have blocked me on social media and other internet platforms
Promise, I don't forget all of my fault in this
I acknowledge that I am responsible for the failure of our relationship and promise not to forget that
'Cause look at me, I'm alone, sitting here, staying home
I am now alone and isolated, as I stay at home due to external circumstances
All of my self control kinda got difficult
I am struggling to maintain my self-control and composure
But I deserve it though
I believe that I deserve this punishment and isolation due to my mistreatment of you
