You Gave It Your Best
Ignant Benches Lyrics

And I know we were kind when it started
At the beginning of our relationship, we treated each other with kindness

I miss it though
I long for those early days and the way we treated each other

Yeah, we paid in the end
Despite our positive start, things did not end well for us

You gave it your best
You tried your hardest to make things work between us

And it was all okay
Overall, things were fine between us for a time

Memories all over the place
I am constantly reminded of our past times together

Oh, I know she'd say, "What we had was great"
I believe that my partner would look back positively on our relationship

Mary, please
Addressing someone named Mary, who may be a close confidant

I'll open up
I am willing to be vulnerable and share my feelings

Desire to fight'll dissolve
My urge to argue or defend myself will dissipate

Fine, let it go
I am accepting that it's time to move on from our past relationship

I've been sick of the slow
I have grown tired of the slow pace of our relationship's progress

And our faces don't look right
When we see each other now, something feels off or uncomfortable

We were kind, never mean
Throughout our relationship, we always treated each other with kindness

You can't see what I see
You may not have the same perspective or understanding of our relationship that I do

Believe me though
Despite our differences in perspective, I am telling the truth

Oh, I doubt she'd say, "What we had was great"
I am not entirely convinced that my partner would look back at our relationship with fondness

This time, let it go
I am determined to move on and put our past behind me

Mary needs some alone time, yeah
Addressing Mary again, acknowledging her need for space and privacy

Time falls, met so many lost causes
Over time, I have encountered many relationships that were doomed to fail

I'm on the floor now
I am feeling defeated or broken in the aftermath of our relationship

Trying my best
Despite my struggles, I am still putting in effort and striving to move forward

Time's gone, lost so many
As time has passed, I have lost many relationships that were once important to me

Times I couldn't get between us
There were instances where I could not bridge the gap and fix our issues

You gave it your best
Despite the difficulties we faced, I acknowledge that you tried your hardest to fix our relationship
