Best Effort
Reese Lansangan Lyrics

At this point, I am sounding like a broken record
I keep talking about the same thing repetitively and it's getting monotonous.

Tried to forget you, and I've given it my bestest effort
I have put in all my effort to move on from you but it hasn't been successful.

I think it's cool that you found someone
I am happy for you that you have moved on and found someone.

But not before I have found myself another one
But I also need to find someone to move on completely.

We used to be friends, now we're barely talking
We used to have a good friendship, but now we hardly communicate.

Such a great mystery how we would just keep walking, ah
It's surprising how we kept pretending that everything was fine even though we were drifting apart.

After a heartbreak that destroys us
After going through a painful heartbreak that has torn us apart emotionally.

Our ego tells us to be happy, but it's pointless
Our egos try to make us appear happy, but it's of no use because we know the truth.

And now you found yourself a keeper
You have found someone who you consider a keeper.

Mentally preparing myself when I meet her
I am mentally preparing myself to handle meeting your new partner.

Say nice things like, "I like how you smell"
I intend to be polite and say nice things like complimenting her perfume.

And, "I used to be so close to your boyfriend"
I might mention that I used to be close to your previous boyfriend to start a conversation.

Oh, can't you tell?
I hope you notice my efforts to be kind and friendly towards your new partner.

Whenever we run into each other, I
Every time we see each other, I

Don't ask about your ex, no, I don't even bother
I avoid asking about your ex because I do not wish to know anything regarding them.

I guess I don't wanna know if you got back together
I don't think I want to know if you got back together with your ex.

So we end up small talking 'bout the weather
We end up engaging in insignificant conversations about the weather to avoid discussing deeper topics.

We used to be tight, now we're barely seeing
We used to be very close, but we hardly meet now.

Each other 'cause I don't even know how to be in
We don't see each other because I am unsure about how to act around you anymore.

Your life, don't fit in anymore
I don't seem to fit into your life anymore.

I've lost that privilege the moment you walked out that door
I lost the privilege of being close to you when you left me.

And I'm so tired of waiting for a new love
I am exhausted from waiting for a new romantic relationship.

So everybody could see that I've moved on
So that everyone can see that I have successfully moved on.

And I'm so tired of waiting for a good love
I am tired of waiting for a true, genuine love.

So everybody could see that I'm not hung up
So that everybody can see that I am not dwelling on the past.

The way that we're looking at each other
The way we are looking at each other

Sometimes I can't tell
Sometimes, it's unclear what we are trying to convey to each other with our glances.
