Best of Me Lyrics
What'd you expect from me? It's not my fault you'll never be happy. Just cause you're right doesn't mean I'm wrong, our days were numbered and we knew it all along. Can't you let things be? Now all that's left is misunderstandings. Spent my nights wishin I was gone. My dad was right, we will never get along.
So I'm done, cause things could never be the same. This is the last time, this is the last time you'll ever burden me.
I can't believe you got the best of me. I can't believe I trusted every word you said. Stretched myself out way too far, now I can see you for who you are. I can't believe you got the best of me. I can't believe I trusted every word you said. It's all finally makin sense, you took what's left of my innocence. oh no, I can't believe you got the best of me.
Can't you act your age? Is it that hard to say what you're thinkin? Lately my life's movin way to fast you'd drag me down if I'd let you hold me back. What a mess you've made, and you hide from it at the bars you frequent. Blamed myself avoidin time this cost, but lookin back you only learn from what ya lost.
So I'm done, cause things could never be the same. This is the last time, this is the last time you'll ever burden me.
I can't believe you got the best of me. I can't believe I trusted every word you said. Stretched myself out way too far, now I can see you for who you are. I can't believe you got the best of me. I can't believe I trusted every word you said. It's all finally makin sense, you took what's left of my innocence. oh no, I can't believe you got the best of me.
I will never be the one you want, no I will never be the one you want.
Finally come to terms that I cant stop, no not this time.
I can't believe you got the best of me. I can't believe I trusted every word you said. Stretched myself out way too far, now I can see you for who you are. I can't believe you got the best of me.

I think this song is about a relationship gone downhill as time went on. And the guy feels like he basically wasted his time on feeling sad and wanting to kill himself over her for all the time he was with her.
"Cant you let things be? And now thats left is misunderstandings, spent my nights wishing i was gone, my dad was right we would never get along." Hes telling her (after he broke up with her), how he felt about their relationship and how he feels now. He just wants to move on from that terrible relationship and all thats left between them is nothing but misunderstanding. He tells her that he spent most of his nights they fought and argued that he wish he was dead cus he was so in love with her and all he wanted was to be happy with her. And even his dad could see that they werent good together.
"Cause things could never be the same, this is the last time, this is the last time youll ever burden me." Hes saying here that things will never work out between them because their relationship is so broke. And he wont be burdened by the sadness of their relationship anymore when he breaks up with her.
"I cant believe you got the best of me, i cant believe i trusted every word you said, its all finally making sense, you took whats left of my innocence." Hes saying he cant believe she got the best of him and he did everythig for her and she treated him like shit. He trusted her. Now its finally making sense that he deserves better than her.
"Cant you act your age? Is it that hard to say what youre thinking? Lately my lifes moving way too fast, youd drag me down if id let you hold me back." Hes telling her to grow up and tell him how she feels. Shes not saying anything though because she doesnt know what to say. And he says if he stays with her then his life would stand still and he wouldnt move forward.
"What a mess youve made, and you hide from it at the bars you frequent." Here hes telling her to look at what she has done to him and stop hiding from it.
Thats my opinion on what it means
