Lyrics
Did the best that I could do
Expressing the singer's effort in doing their best.
Was it good enough for you
Questioning whether the singer's efforts were satisfactory for the listener.
Can you look into my eyes and tell me that I didn't try

Shared with you my heart, my hopes, my dreams, why can't you see

You chose to walk away, yet expected me to chase

You'd wind me up, you'd wind me down, I'm not your doll, I'm not your clown

A selfless love, a heart that's pure, I gave it all, of that I am sure

You turned your back on my love, yet somehow I'm the enemy
Expressing the contradiction in being abandoned despite offering sincere love, feeling unjustly treated.
And I was tired, I was drowning, what more could I give

I still believe in love, won't let you take that away from me
