Chrisette Michele - Best of me

Saw you again at the parlor
Crossing the walk with your lady
I caught your eye from afar
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 am moving on

Loved you
Lost you
Though 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

Can't be the time to be beggin'
Can't be the time to plead
My momma made me much wiser
What's mine, will be just for me
I'm praying hard just to focus
I'm trying 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
Though I'd give you all the best of me
We departed
Brokenhearted
And I still not 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 of me

Loved you
Lost you
Though 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
