Treat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still pretend that I will forget
I've been down that lonely road before
We have shared the world behind this door
Never again will it be the same
Never again will you call out my name
Like the wind you swept through my life
Oh, baby
You can say that I'm wrong
I've been blind all along
You can say I'll never face reality
But I will show that I'm strong
'Cause I'm still holding on
I can say for sure
You took the best of me, oh-oh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Never again will I love you in vain
Never again will I heal from the pain, oh-whoa
I have fought the battles in the night
Now I know I've been wasting all my time
You can say that I'm wrong
I've been blind all along
You can say I'll never face reality
But I will show that I'm strong
'Cause I'm still holding on
I can say for sure
You took the best of me
You can say that I'm wrong
(Say that I'm wrong)
I've been blind all along
You can say I'll never face reality
But I will show that I'm strong
(Show that I'm strong)
'Cause I'm still holding on
I can say for sure
You took the best of me
Whoa, yeah...
You can say that I'm wrong
(Say that I'm wrong)
I've been blind all along
You can say I'll never face reality
But I will show that I'm strong
(Show that I'm strong)
'Cause I'm still holding on
I can say for sure
You took the best of me, oh-oh
The lyrics to Treat's song Best Of Me depict the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer acknowledges that he has been down the same path of heartbreak before, but still holds on to the hope that he will forget and move on from his past lover. However, he knows that things will never be the same again and that he will never hear his lover call out his name like she once did. The singer feels as if his lover swept through his life like the wind, leaving him with painful memories that cut like a knife. He knows that he has been wasting his time fighting battles in the night and loving in vain, but he is still holding on to the best parts of himself, even though his lover took the best of him.
The chorus is the most vital part of the song and emphasizes the singer's inner conflict. He knows that people will tell him that he is wrong and that he has been blind to the reality of the situation, but he still holds on to the best parts of himself. He wants to show that he is strong and that he has not completely fallen apart despite the devastation caused by his failed relationship. The singer's pain is evident in the lyrics, and the song is relatable to anyone who has gone through a similar experience.
