Best For You - Amity

Lately I’ve been thinking you’d be better off without me/

With plenty fond thoughts but too many crossed the boundaries/

I’m a prick at times but I’m over picking fights/

And picking sides when it’s me who isn’t trying to minimise them/

You loved me and didn’t want me to leave you/

I didn’t either but this isn’t what we agreed to/

You told me to try to fix the problem/

Although I had hit the bottom but know I considered what we had been through/

You packed your things and left your own home/

I asked if you were okay and you said «I don’t know"/

I felt so bad and I kept my phone close/

To text but every message sent was postponed/

And don’t get me wrong ‘cause I don’t blame you/

It was me and as much as I want to I won’t change to be/

Who you need and so I had to concede/

And I did my best to see the issues from both angles

Hook:

Well if this is goodbye and there’s nothing left to do/

Just know I only want the best for you/

And God knows I tried but what am I meant to do?/

I hope you know I want the best for you

The first night I slept alone in my bed/

I smelled the sheets the way you did the cologne on my neck/

And I knew I’d regret it the very moment you left/

Don’t forget you weren’t the only one who openly wept/

For so long, I had been trying to talk or change/

But I kept asking myself when is it time to walk away?/

Whenever we had a fight, you would cry to all my mates/

But they never saw my side or the violent calls you made/

So this is it, you want a fairytale relationship but shit/

I’m hardly Prince Charming and I think you’re the wicked witch/

I’m out, you scissor-kicked the wicket on the cricket pitch/

I’m in a ditch but I couldn’t take a single minute hitched/

I just wanted to be yours so your lips could moisten/

But looking back, I guess we all kind of missed the point then/

So what’s the point? Start calling up Sigmund Freud/

And sing about all we did wrong and all of the silly choices

Well if this is goodbye and there’s nothing left to do/

Just know I only want the best for you/

And God knows I tried but what am I meant to do?/

I hope you know I want the best for you

I’ve seen you cry far too many times/

And it changed me until I was hard to recognise/

An early warning that when you asked for any sign/

Of affection, we’d start to argue then we’d fight/

And I’m not trying to bring karma and play the victim/

But it’s harder to leave a lover rather than staying with them/

I’m gonna miss having my arm in the same position/

With your head to my heart but I ask that you wait a minute/

'Cause each day is a new chance to start again/

And wipe clean your own two hands of past regrets/

If we can’t forgive ourselves, who can? I can’t forget/

But consider telling me that you can as my last request/

Years together lost but it wasn’t wasted time/

Remember all the memories you’ve got to make you smile/

And even though I know that it’s a lot to take in stride/

I just hope you know that I didn’t want to say goodbye

I want the best for…
