Verse 1-
I thought this is the real thing
I thought your better for me
I thought i hope it ain't too good to be true
It felt like nothing before
You were what i was waiting for
'cause
Bridge-
I was there for you
Baby what did i do, to make you untrue
Chorus-
You said i satisfied all your fantasies
You said that i was everything you ever dreamed
So how comes suddenly it ain't enough
That i gave you the best of my love
Verse 2-
What you saw is what you got
First you loved then you loved me not
Turns out baby your just all about the tricks
You just want what you don't have
Now i'm gone but it's too bad
I won't be making that mistake again
'cause
Bridge-
I was there for you
Baby what did i do, to make you untrue
Chorus-
You said i satisfied all your fantasies
You said that i was everything you ever dreamed
So how comes suddenly it ain't enough
That i gave you the best of my love
You said you wanted to take it all away
When it came down to it you were never gonna stay
But i am done with that i've had enough
I'm taking back the best of my love
Verse 3-
I'm done with it and i'm over it
And i can't belive i never was a fool for you
But i'm out the door and i want no more
I'm done with it and i'm over it
And i can't belive i never was a fool for you
But i'm out the door and i want no more
Now your on your own
Bridge-
I was there for you
Baby what did i do, to make you untrue
Chorus-
You said i satisfied all your fantasies
You said that i was everything you ever dreamed
So how comes suddenly it ain't enough
That i gave you the best of my love
You said you wanted to take it all away
When it came down to it you were never gonna stay
But i am done with that i've had enough
I'm taking back the best of my love
Verse 3-
I'm done with it and i'm over it
And i can't belive i never was a fool for you
But i'm out the door and i want no more
I'm done with it and i'm over it
And i can't belive i never was a fool for you
But i'm out the door and i want no more
Now your on your own
Javine's song "Best of My Love" talks about a relationship that didn't work out. The beginning of the song implies that the singer thought that the relationship was the real thing and that it had potential. However, it quickly became clear that things weren't working out, and the person she was with was not what she thought they were. She sings about how she gave her best to make the relationship work, but it wasn't enough, and her love was not appreciated or reciprocated.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You said" several times, which implies that the person she was with had promised her many things but failed to deliver on them. Despite the failed promises, the singer was giving her best efforts to make the relationship work. However, eventually, she realized that the relationship was going in circles, and she decided to leave it behind.
In the final verse of the song, the singer makes it clear that she is done with the relationship and has moved on. She expresses her disbelief that she ever fell for the person she was with and asserts that she won't be making that mistake again in the future. The song's bridge repeats the same phrase, "I was there for you, baby, what did I do to make you untrue." This line implies that the singer was always supportive and caring towards her partner and wasn't deserving of the way she was treated. In conclusion, the song is about a failed relationship that started with high hopes but ended with disappointment and heartbreak.

I thought that you were the right person for me
I thought i hope it ain't too good to be true
I hoped that what we had was not just a dream, but a reality
It felt like nothing before
Our relationship was different from any other I had experienced
You were what i was waiting for
I had been waiting for someone like you to come into my life
Atleast that's what i made myself belive
Perhaps I was fooling myself into thinking that you were the right one for me
I was there for you
I was always there for you and supported you in everything you did
Baby what did i do, to make you untrue
I am trying to understand what I did wrong that made you betray me
You said i satisfied all your fantasies
You told me that I fulfilled all your desires and dreams
You said that i was everything you ever dreamed
You made me believe that I was the one you had been waiting for
So how comes suddenly it ain't enough
I don't understand why what we had is no longer sufficient for you
That i gave you the best of my love
I gave you all of my love and devotion
What you saw is what you got
I was straightforward and genuine with you from the beginning
First you loved then you loved me not
You first fell in love with me, but then you stopped loving me altogether
Turns out baby your just all about the tricks
It seems that you were just playing games with me
You just want what you don't have
You only wanted me when you couldn't have me
Now i'm gone but it's too bad
I have moved on from you, but it's unfortunate that things didn't work out
I won't be making that mistake again
I have learned my lesson and will not fall for your tricks again
You said you wanted to take it all away
You promised me that you would take care of everything and make our dreams come true
When it came down to it you were never gonna stay
When things got tough, you deserted me
But i am done with that i've had enough
I am finished with all of the lies and broken promises
I'm taking back the best of my love
I am taking back all of the love that I gave to you
I'm done with it and i'm over it
I am finished with our relationship and have moved on
And i can't belive i never was a fool for you
I cannot believe that I was never foolish to believe in you and our relationship
But i'm out the door and i want no more
I am leaving this relationship behind and do not want any more involvement with you
Now your on your own
Now it is up to you to figure out your life without me
