Best of Me Lyrics
Saw you again at the parlor, crossing the wall with your lady
I caught your eye... from afar off, I noticed she wore a ring
I found a smile against my will, wish it was genuine
I put away my desire, no more "in love with you still"
Look, I'm moving on
Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me
We've departed... brokenhearted, I need to be free
What we had was oh so lovely, I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me
Can't be the type to be begging, can't be the type to plead
My mama made me much wiser,
What's mine will be just for me
I'm trying hard just to focus, I'm crying hard to sleep
Promise I'm glad you're happy
When it's my time it will be
Look, I'm moving on
Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me
We've departed brokenhearted... I need to be free
What we had was oh so lovely, I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me
Oh my, why have I been just so foolish all this time?
Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine
I guess it's time to find the best in me
Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me
We departed brokenhearted... I need to be free
What we had was oh so lovely, I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me
The best of me...
I caught your eye... from afar off, I noticed she wore a ring
I found a smile against my will, wish it was genuine
I put away my desire, no more "in love with you still"
Look, I'm moving on
We've departed... brokenhearted, I need to be free
It's my time to find the best of me
My mama made me much wiser,
What's mine will be just for me
I'm trying hard just to focus, I'm crying hard to sleep
Promise I'm glad you're happy
When it's my time it will be
Look, I'm moving on
We've departed brokenhearted... I need to be free
What we had was oh so lovely, I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me
Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine
I guess it's time to find the best in me
We departed brokenhearted... I need to be free
What we had was oh so lovely, I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me

To me, this song is about maturing and growing as a result of a relationship that has ended. Instead of dwelling on the past, she has decided to look deep inside, find her beauty and self-worth and just be happy. (When you look for the best of your self, you're always guaranteed to feel good).... I love how she acknowledges that what they had was lovely, but it didn't last and now it's time to move on... No hatred, no bad blood, no wishing him any ill will... instead she's going to move forward and open her eyes to a whole new world that's full of possibilities :)
I agree, I also like the bit where she realises how blind she was to have not seen the qualities that he loved about her for herself and how she needs to know for herself such as how beautiful and wonderful she is. No longer needing that validation form him but coming to that asseptance for herself
