Best Effort

(Album: Time Well Spent - 2021)

At this point, I am sounding like a broken record
Tried to forget you and I've given it my bestest effort
I think it's cool that you've found someone
But not before I have found myself another one

We used to be friends
Now we're barely talking
Such a great mystery
How we would just keep walking, ah
After a heartbreak that destroys us
Our ego tells us to be happy, but it's pointless

And now you found yourself a keeper
Mentally preparing myself when I meet her
Say nice things, like "I like how you smell"
And "I used to be so close to your boyfriend"
Oh can't you tell

Whenever we run into each other
I don't ask about your ex
No I don't even bother
I guess I don't wanna know
If you got back together
So we end up, small talking 'bout the weather

We used to be tight
Now we're barely seeing
Each other cause I don't even know how to be in
Your life, don't fit in anymore
I've lost that privilege
The moment you walked out that door

And now you found yourself a keeper
Mentally preparing myself when I meet her
Say nice things, like "I like how you smell"
And "I used to be so close to your boyfriend"
Oh can't you tell
The way that we're looking at each other
Sometimes I can't tell

And I'm so tired of
Waiting for a new love
Just so everybody could see
That I've moved on
And I'm so tired of
Waiting for a good love
So everybody could see
That I'm not hung up

And now you found yourself a keeper
Mentally preparing myself when I meet her
Say nice things, like "I like how you smell"
And "I used to be so close to your boyfriend"
Oh can't you tell
The way that we're looking at each other
Sometimes I can't tell

At this point, I am sounding like a broken record
(Most days I can't recall you )
Tried to forget you and I've given it my bestest effort
(The boy who knew the little things that made my
Heart blue)
I think it's cool that you've found someone
(Just a natural consequence)
But not before I have found myself another one
(Zero communication, forgetting him just makes
Sense)
