Best of Me (South) - Stephen Kellogg

The more you get to know me

The less you seem to like me

And I’d be lying if I said I was not offended

I would rather see you look at me

With cold eyes and a vacancy

Then disrespect us both by your pretending

There is no one in this world who won’t make a few mistakes

With friends like you I don’t need enemies

But in case you ever wondered

You may have broke my heart

But you will never get the best of me

So I dusted myself off and I headed for my home

Or for someone who could tell me I was better off on my own

Nursing all my disappointments, I refused to be anointed

By the tribe of people I could blame for how the thing had gone

There is no one in this world who won’t make a few mistakes

With friends like you I don’t need enemies

And in case you ever wondered

You may have broke my heart

But you will never get the best of me

Even if it’s for the best

That doesn’t make it hurt less

I have been here before

I could take a little more

Cause that’s always been what’s best

And I am someone in this world who has made a few mistakes

If you point them out I’ll never disagree

And in case you ever wondered

Although broke my heart

You could never get the best of me

No you will never get the best of me
