Best of You
Rising from Sabotage: Unveiling the Journey of Self-Rediscovery
Lyrics
Can’t believe I’ve gotta start again
Expresses disbelief at having to begin anew
It’s too bad you can’t move out of your way
Regret that one cannot overcome personal obstacles
Cause I know that ain’t the best of you
Recognition that current behavior isn't one's optimal self
Darling I just want the best for you
Expresses a desire for the loved one to excel
I would say that it’s over
Implication that a relationship has ended
But we’ve both known that for months now
Acknowledgment of mutual awareness about the relationship's status
If i said it was all my fault
Acceptance of some responsibility for the situation
You’d change your tone
Expectation of a change in response if taking the blame
Boujee seats at the Laylow
Reference to luxury seats at Laylow, possibly indicating opulence or status
I'd swim to you if you say so
Willingness to go to great lengths for the other person
You even picked up the lingo
Observation of adapting to someone's language or preferences
So why you moving the bar all the time
Questioning why standards or expectations keep changing
I know, I know that you do it for the lights
Acknowledgment that actions are driven by a desire for attention or recognition
I’ve seen this movie before it’s sabotage
Recognition of a familiar pattern of self-sabotage
But I just want the best for you
Despite everything, the speaker wants the best for the other person
Still I
Continued determination despite challenges
Can’t believe I’ve gotta start again
Reiteration of disbelief in starting anew
It’s too bad you can’t move out of your way
Sorrow that someone cannot change their behavior
Cause I know that ain’t the best of you
Understanding that current actions aren't a person's optimal behavior
Darling I just want the best for you
Expresses a desire for the loved one to excel
Don’t you leave me don’t baby
Request for the other person not to leave, despite difficulties
Got me out here in the am
Feeling vulnerable and exposed in the early morning
What we started isn’t finished
Belief that what was started together remains incomplete
It must be love
Assertion of the strength of the feeling being love
Done some growing up alone
Experience of personal growth without external support
Still there’s nothing like a team
Recognition of the importance of a partnership or relationship
Cherie you’re my ballon d’or
Term of endearment ('Cherie') and a metaphorical comparison to a prestigious football award, indicating high regard for the person
And I
Unfinished statement possibly suggesting personal feelings or actions
Can’t believe I’ve gotta start again
Reiteration of disbelief in starting anew
It’s too bad you can’t move out of your way
Sorrow that someone cannot change their behavior
Cause I know that ain’t the best of you
Understanding that current actions aren't a person's optimal behavior
Darling I just want the best for you
Expresses a desire for the loved one to excel
