The Best of My Love
Rockabye Baby! Lyrics

Every night
Nighttime is a time where I find myself alone with my thoughts.

I'm lying in bed,
As I lay in bed, I find myself thinking of you.

Holdin' you close in my dreams;
In my dreams, I am holding you as tightly as I can.

Thinkin' about all the things that we said
I am constantly replaying the things we've said to each other.

And comin' apart at the seams.
But lately, it feels like we're falling apart at the seams.

We try to talk it over
Communication is critical, but lately, our conversations have been difficult.

But the words come out too rough;
We struggle to express ourselves, and our words end up causing more harm than good.

I know you were tryin'
But I understand that you're doing your best.

To give me the best of your love.
You've given me everything that you can, and I appreciate it.

Beautiful faces,
The world is full of beautiful things and people.

Loud empty places
But it's easy to get lost in meaningless distractions.

Look at the way that we live,
Our lives have become too focused on superficial things.

Wastin' our time
We've been wasting our time on things that don't matter.

On cheap talk and wine
Our conversations have been superficial and meaningless, and we've been numbing ourselves with alcohol.

Left us so little to give.
As a result, we have very little to offer each other.

The same old crowd
We've been stuck in the same routines.

Was like a cold dark cloud
And it feels like we're trapped in a dark, suffocating place.

That we could never rise above,
We've been unable to break free from this cycle.

But here in my heart
But deep down, I know that we still have something special.

I give you the best of my love.
I am still willing to give you everything that I have.

Oh, sweet darlin',
You mean everything to me, my love.

You get the best of my love,
And I want to give you the very best of what I have to offer.

I'm goin' back in time
I find myself thinking back to a simpler time when things were easier.

And it's a sweet dream.
In some ways, it feels like a dream, almost too good to be true.

It was a quiet night
I remember a night that was peaceful and serene.

And I would be alright
In that moment, I felt okay and at peace.

If I could go on sleeping.
If only I could stay in that moment forever, and not have to face the harsh reality of life.

But every morning'
But every new day brings new challenges and struggles.

I wake up and worry
I wake up feeling anxious about the future.

What's gonna happen today.
I worry about what the new day has in store for us.

You see it your way,
We have different perspectives on things.

And I see it mine,
We see things differently, but both of our opinions are valid.

But we both see it slippin' away.
But we both feel like we're losing something important.

You know, we always had each other, baby.
Through all the struggles, we've always had each other.

I guess that wasn't enough.
But somehow, it still feels like it wasn't enough to hold us together.

Oh, but here in my heart
But even though things are difficult, I still hold you close in my heart.

I give you the best of my love.
And I will always give you everything that I have to offer.

Oh, sweet darlin',
You mean everything to me, my love.

You get the best of my love.
And I will always strive to give you the very best of what I have to offer.
