You look for the icing on the cake
I try to interject and tell you
It’s been there all along
But the window has a glare
And distracted now you stare
At the parts of the display that look like they belong
Please don’t give up on me
I might not be what you want me to be
But I’m the best
I’m the best
I’m the best
Version of me
[guitar solo]
Let me take the time to warn you
If we’re going on a guilt trip
I will need better shoes
I’ve done the best I can
And I’ve never asked for handouts
I’ve got far to go and nothing left to lose
Please don’t give up on me
I might not be what you want me to be
But I’m the best
I’m the best
I’m the best
Version of me
[drums and acoustic interlude]
Let me take you for a ride
Tell me while you’re by my side
That you got my cards and letters
Every time I hear you say
I didn’t turn out the right way
I know that I’ve done better
I’ve done better than you think
Woah
Woah
Woah
Digging graves is hard work
When you’re fighting with the dead
Telling them you lived a better life
But the shovel in your hand
Is a toothpick in the sand
In an hourglass that doesn’t care whether you’re right
Please don’t give up on me
I might not be what you want me to be
But I’m the best
I’m the best
I’m the best
Version of me
Let me take you for a ride
Tell me while you’re by my side
That you got my cards and letters
Every time I hear you say
I didn’t turn out the right way
I know that I’ve done better
I’ve done better than you think
Better than you think
Better than you think
Woah
Woah-woah-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Please don’t give up on me
I might not be what you want me to be
But I’m the best
I’m the best
I’m the best
