Lyrics

Best Memory

[Verse 1]

My friend, your will is weak

I know one day you'll be scared of me

My problem is, you don't understand

That this is how I'd rather live my life instead

You and me, we are exactly the same

I hope one day you believe it

Always seen as the second-best

I always thought it was a test, but it's a matter of respect

And you have none for me

You'd rather see me fail than have me under your wing

You were the man I could never be

Why'd you leave so suddenly?

[Chorus]

Every second's a loss, I've failed you the same

Compassions gone for me, no more settling

Somehow I still feel so broken at the sight of myself at the edge

You will never let me go and never let me in

[Verse 2]

You won't break me

This isn't worth all the effort and suffering

You don't care about anything I need

Leaving you abandoned is my best memory

I know one day you'll see we're the same

I know one day you'll resent what you have come to be

I know one day you'll see we're the same

I know one day you'll resent what you have come to be

You were the man I would never be

Why'd you leave so suddenly?

You were the man I would never be

Why'd you leave so suddenly?

[Chorus]

Every second's a loss, I've failed you the same

Compassions gone for me, no more settling

Somehow I still feel so broken at the sight of myself at the edge

You will never let me go and never let me leave

[Bridge]

You've mistaken my love for a weakness

I won't let you just take advantage of my heart

You've mistaken my love for a weakness

I won't let you just take advantage of my heart

Have we mistaken our pride for our progress?

Do we accept and learn from mistakes?

I won't be the same, I will not relate

You can push me off, day after day

But don't expect me to stay

You've mistaken my love for a weakness

[Breakdown]

Forsaken

[Outro]

Yeah, you were the man I could never be

Why'd you leave so suddenly?

You were the man I would never be

Why'd you leave so suddenly?

You were the man I could never be

Why'd you leave so suddenly?

You were the man I would never be

Why'd you leave so suddenly?
