Best Of Me
Paul and The Patients Lyrics

Precious flower in my hand
I have something beautiful and delicate in my possession.

I wanted love always at my command
I desired to have control over love, to have it on my terms.

But in you saw a freedom light
But in you, I saw the potential for freedom and independence.

That I could smother if I hold on tight
However, if I cling too tightly to you, I might suffocate that freedom.

So say what you want
Express yourself honestly,

Do what you can
Achieve all that you're capable of.

But save the best for me
But save the most special parts of yourself for me.

You're my home you're my resting place
You provide me with comfort and security, and feel like a sanctuary.

The shadow where I hide this face
I can be vulnerable around you, and reveal aspects of myself I normally conceal.

You have opened up the freedom door
You have empowered and liberated me to be myself.

I know you well but I'm wanting more
I'm familiar with who you are, but I'm eager to discover more about you.

So be who you are
Remain true to yourself.

Do what you will
Pursue your dreams and do what makes you happy.

But save the best for me
But keep some of your best qualities and experiences for me to share with you.

I feel your love washing over me
I am deeply moved by the intensity of your love.

You're here with me
Your presence is comforting and reassuring.

Healing water wash over me
Your love and support has the power to heal and rejuvenate me.

So say what you want
Speak your truth and express yourself honestly.

And be who you are
Be true to yourself.

Do what you will
Pursue your dreams and do what makes you happy.

But save the best for me
But keep some of your best qualities and experiences for me to share with you.

I'll save the best for you
I promise to give you my very best in return.
