Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How did I ever let my heart believe
In one who never gave enough to me
And so many years gone, love that was so wrong
I can't forget the way it used to be
And how you changed the taste of love for me
You were my one more chance
You were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
And I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
And we'll have no ending if we can hold on
And I think I've come this far because of you
Could be no other love but ours will do
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
You were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
And I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
No one will ever touch me more
And I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
I saved the best, the very best of me for you
The lyrics of Michael Bublé’s song “Best of Me” explores themes of reminiscing on past relationships and the idea of giving your all to one person. The song begins by acknowledging the memories of a past love that was “wrong,” and the pain of believing in someone who never reciprocated their love. The chorus, characterized by a soothing melody, reveals the significant impact of the current love interest by describing them as the one that was thought to never be found. The lyrics express that the person is the most unforgettable and has become an integral part of the singer's life. The singer hopes to reciprocate the love they have been given by giving their best self in return.
The second verse of the song continues to express the depth of the singer's feelings for his lover, emphasizing that their love is unique and cannot be replaced. The lyrics suggest that the intense feelings will continue as long as both parties are dedicated to working on the relationship, and the only thing that can compare to their love is its limitless potential. The song resolves in the last verse by affirming the commitment made to the current love interest and the willingness to learn and grow together, while also emphasizing once again that the best of the singer is solely reserved for them.
In conclusion, "Best of Me" is an emotionally charged song that delves into the subject of past relational experiences and the journey towards finding true love. The song speaks to the idea of giving one’s best self to someone who is worthy of it, while also emphasizing that true love is built on dedication and effort.

There are moments that try to change me. Moments turn to years. Almost a year since I last saw you. And, I want to see you, before I have no more of the best of me. Because of you, I've come this far.
But, through all these trails, I only hope I could save the very best of me for you.
I don't want you to see me when I've been broken. I don't want you to see me until all my light has left me because of the trails in my life.
I don't want to see you.
Because that won't be me.
And I only want you to see me.
I only want to let my heart believe.
No one can ever touch me more, but I only hope in return I might have saved the best of me for you.
I realized, that to hold on, is to let go.
Because love is like the touch of the wind.
Because of you I've come this far.
I only hope in return, no matter how much we have to learn,
I might have saved the very best for you.

This rendition—the slower, more gentle music, and Michael's melodic variations—makes me cry. I hope I can sing this to someone someday (or that somebody would sing this for me someday too).

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in years. The song has really spoken to me while enduring and dealing with personal pain and Covid related loss. Thank you Michael.
