Best Years
Building a Future from Broken Pieces: The Best Years
Lyrics
You've got a million reasons to hesitate
You have numerous reasons to be uncertain or indecisive.
But darlin', the future's better than yesterday
Despite any past issues, the future holds promise and improvement.
I wasted so much time on people that reminded me of you
I spent a significant amount of time on individuals who resembled you.
Gave you a million reasons to walk away
I provided ample reasons for you to end the relationship.
But I'll build a house out of the mess
Despite the chaos and difficulties, I will create stability and a home.
And all the broken pieces
Referencing the aftermath of challenges and hardships.
I'll make up for all of your tears
I will compensate for all the pain and sorrow you experienced.
I'll give you the best years
I am committed to giving you the most fulfilling and positive years.
I'll give you the best years
Reiteration of the commitment to providing the best years.
Past love burned out like a cigarette
Previous love faded away quickly, comparable to a burnt-out cigarette.
I promise, darling, you won't regret
An assurance that the current relationship will not end in regret.
The best years
Emphasis on experiencing the most favorable and enjoyable times.
I wanna hold your hair when you drink too much
Expressing a desire to care for the partner during vulnerable moments.
Carry you home when you cannot stand up
Being there to support and bring the partner home in challenging situations.
You did all these things for me when I was half a man for you
Recalling the partner's past sacrifices when the speaker was not whole.
I wanna hold your hand while we're growing up
A commitment to holding hands during the journey of growing together.
But I'll build a house out of the mess
A repetition of the commitment to stability amid chaos.
And all the broken pieces
Referring to the process of rebuilding after facing challenges.
I'll make up for all of your tears
A promise to make amends for any past emotional distress.
I'll give you the best years
Commitment to offering the partner the most fulfilling years.
I'll give you the best years
Reiteration of the commitment to providing the best years.
Past love burned out like a cigarette
Comparing past love to a fleeting, extinguished cigarette.
I promise, darling, you won't regret
A reaffirmation that the current relationship won't end in regret.
The best years
Emphasizing the ongoing experience of the best years.
The best years
Repetition of the notion of living through the best years.
I'll give you the best years
Commitment to providing the partner with the most fulfilling years.
I'll give you the best years
Reiteration of the commitment to providing the best years.
Past love burned out like a cigarette
Comparison of past love to a burnt-out cigarette.
I promise, darling, you won't regret
A promise that the current relationship will not end in regret.
The best years
Emphasis on the ongoing experience of the best years.
I'll give you the best years
Commitment to providing the partner with the most fulfilling years.
