Saw you again at the parlor Crossing the walk with your lady I caught your eye from afar I noticed she wore a ring I found a smile against my will Wish it was genuine I put away my desire No more in love with you still Look, I am moving on, ooo Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me We departed brokenhearted; I need to be free What we had was oh-so lovely, I'll swallow my pain It's my time to find the best of me Can't be the time to be beggin' Can't be the time to plead My mama made me much wiser What's mine will be just for me, yeah I'm trying hard just to focus I'm trying hard to sleep Promise, I'm glad you're happy When it's my time, it will be Look, I'm moving on, whoa, whoa, whoa Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me We departed brokenhearted; I need to be free What we had was oh-so lovely, I'll swallow my pain It's my time to find the best of me Oh my, why have I been Just so foolish all this time? Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine I guess it's time to find the best in me Loved you, lost you, thought I'd give you all the best of me We departed brokenhearted; I need to be free What we had was oh-so lovely, I'll swallow my pain It's my time to find the best of me Oh, oh, oh, the best of me
