BEST FOR ME
The Kid LAROI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gave you all of me for none of you
Something that I don't ever do
You made me feel like I'm not good enough, yeah
And I don't wanna walk away, that's the last thing that I want, but hey
I guess right now I have to do whatever's best for me (best for me)

I can't hold my breath no more
Tired of your selfish love
I can't be what you want
But I still wanna be loved
Never asked for nothin' else
I gotta do this for myself
I believed you loved me, girl
When I couldn't even love myself

I'm afraid of myself
You taught me how to hate myself
For you, oh, girl, I changed myself
And chained myself down
And then I start to blame myself
Back and forth with my head
Thinkin' 'bout what all you said
I swear it's been a week since I slept
'Cause mine don't feel the same as your bed
This ain't love, it's hard to fake it
You ain't mine, it's hard to face it
All of the time I wasted
I really tried to save us but

I can't hold my breath no more
Tired of your selfish love
I can't be what you want
But I still wanna be loved
Never asked for nothin' else
I gotta do this for myself




I believed you loved me, girl
When I couldn't even love myself

Overall Meaning

The Kid LAROI's "Best For Me" is a song about ending a one-sided relationship, despite still wanting to be loved. The opening lines of the first verse set the tone for the song, with the lyrics "I gave you all of me for none of you / Something that I don't ever do". The singer expresses that they have given their all in the relationship, but have not received the same level of love and commitment in return.


The chorus is the focal point of the song, with the singer declaring that they can no longer continue in this relationship. They are tired of holding their breath and being suffocated by the other person's selfish love. Despite this, they still yearn for love, but they have come to the realization that they need to do what is best for themselves.


In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that they have changed themselves in an attempt to make the relationship work. They admit to being afraid of themselves and being taught how to hate themselves by the other person. The lyrics "This ain't love, it's hard to fake it / You ain't mine, it's hard to face it / All of the time I wasted / I really tried to save us but" convey a sense of resignation and acceptance that the relationship cannot be saved.


Overall, "Best For Me" explores the complicated emotions that can come with ending a relationship, especially when one still wants love and affection. The song encourages listeners to prioritize their own well-being and make the tough decisions that are best for themselves, even if it means letting go of someone they love.

[Verse 1]
I gave you all of me for none of you
Something that I don't ever do
You made me feel like I'm not good enough, yeah
And I don't wanna walk away, that's the last thing that I want
But, hey, I guess right now I have to do whatever's best for me (Best for me)

[Chorus]
I can't hold my breath no more
Tired of your selfish love
I can't be what you want
But I still wanna be loved
Never asked for nothin' else
Gotta do this for myself
I believed you loved me, girl
When I couldn't even love myself

[Verse 2]
I'm afraid of myself
You taught me how to hate myself
For you, oh, girl, I changed myself
And chained myself down, and then I start to blame myself
Back and forth with my head
Thinkin' 'bout what all you said
I swear it's been a week since I slept
'Cause mine don't feel the same as your bed
The same love, it's hard to fake it
You ain't mine, it's hard to face it
All of the time I wasted
I really tried to save us but
I can't hold my breath no more
Tired of your selfish love
I can't be what you want
But I still wanna be loved
Never asked for nothin' else
Gotta do this for myself
I believed you loved me, girl
When I couldn't even love myself
