Chrisette Michele – Best Of Me lyrics

Saw you again at the parlor
Crossing the walk with your lady
I caught your eye from afar off
I know that she wore a ring

I found a smile against my will
Wish it was genuine
I put away my desire
No more "in love with you still"

Look I'm moving on, oh

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Can't be the time to be begging
Can't be the time to plead
My momma made me much wiser
What's mine will be just for me

I'm trying hard just to focus
I'm trying hard to sleep
Promise I'm glad you're happy
When its my time it will be

Look I'm moving on, oh oh oh

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Oh my why have I been just so foolish all this time
Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine
I guess its time to find the best of me

Loved you, lost you
Thought I'd give you
All the best of me
We departed
Broken hearted
I need to be free

What we had was
Oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
Its my time to
Find the best of me

Oh oh oh
The best of me
