Best In You

(album: A Teenage Diary - 2021)

Friday night
Under the moon watching stars go by
You told me some things that were on your mind (I'm sorry, sorry)
Don't apologize
A year goes by (Why you act so—?)
Where's that boy I used to recognize
Where did you go? Can you come outside?
You don't have to hide

I see you smiling, I know you're in pain
I see you, lover, you're cold and afraid

But they don't, they don't know you like I do
And I don't expect them to
They won't, they won't see through your eyes
And they'll always ask why
'Cause you're caught in a version
Of the person that you barely knew
But I see the best in you (Ah)

You can try to be someone else even you don't like
But that doesn't make it easier
Make it easier

I see you smiling, I know you're in pain
I see you, lover, you're cold and afraid

But they don't, they don't know you like I do
And I don't expect them to
They won't, they won't see through your eyes
And they'll always ask why
'Cause you're caught in a version
Of the person that you barely knew
But I see the best in you
