Best Memory

(album: The Place I Feel Safest - 2017)

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're 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?

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
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. [x2]

You were the man I would never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly? [x2]

Every second's a loss, I've failed you the same
Compassions gone for me, no more settling
Somehow I still feel broken, at the sight of myself at the edge
You will never let me go and never let me leave
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 you can't expect me to stay
You've mistaken my love for a weakness
Forsaken
You were the man I could never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly?
