Best of Me
This was written to describe the hardships with my human relationships. I sometimes feel I’m neglecting people due to lots of my time being spent on music. Hopefully it’s understood that this is something I must do with my life even if it is not very lucrative or practical. I wrote it while laying in bed.
Lyrics:
please don’t mind the hours I’m losing
you are right here with me
tugging my heart in different directions
who do I want to be
tell me I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I’m wrong
and this will be history
tell me I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I’m wrong
and you’ll have the best of me
should have grown up a doctor or lawyer
with a nice salary
but my life’s taken a different direction
give it all up for free
in the real world with no reason
don’t no why I keep believing
every time I go and try
I say goodbye, but it’s such a lie
Thank you so much for this Paul! I bought best of me.. just love that song so much.. I know what you felt when writing it as I tend to be the same with people.. I’m at a crossroads right now and trying to decide to follow my dreams or just stay where it is safe.. hard to decide.. thank you for the song.. it says so much I could never express.. I put the song on my website, so hopefully more people will realise how amazing you are.. thank you for everything..
as it is said in the latin proverb – per aspera ad astra, which means ‘to the stars through all the difficulties’, i think it’s always so. impossible to get anything without a failure…
