Artist/Band: Daniel Powter
Lyrics for Song: Best Of Me
Lyrics for Album: Turn On The Lights [2012]



I was made the wrong way

Won't you do me the right way

Where you gonna be tonight

Cause I won't stay too long



Maybe all the life for me

When you talk to me it strikes me

Won't somebody help me

Cause I don't feel too strong



Was it something that I said?

Was it something that I did?

Or the combination of both that did me in?



You know I'm hoping you'll sing along

Though it's not your favorite song

Don't want to be there

when there's nothing left to say



You know that some of us spin again

And when you do you need a friend

Don't want to be there

When there's nothing left for me



And I hate the thought of finally being erased

Baby that's the best of me



Everything's behind you

But the hopeless stands beside you

Forever, never a moment

Have I wasted all your time



Was it something that I said?

Was it something that I did?

Or the combination of both that did me in?



You know I'm hoping you'll sing along

Though it's not your favorite song

Don't want to be there

when there's nothing left to say



You know that some of us spin again

And when you do you need a friend

Don't want to be there

When there's nothing left for me



And I hate the thought of finally being erased

Baby that's the best of me yeah

Baby that's is the best of me



You know I'm hoping you'll sing along

Though it's not your favorite song

Don't want to be there

When there's nothing left to say



You know that some of us spin again

And when you do you need a friend

Don't want to be there

When there's nothing left for me



And I hate the thought of finally being erased

Baby that's the best of me
