Best of me marimba

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 you're the light 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 favourite song Don't wanna be the wind There's nothing left to say You know that some of us spin again And when you do, you need a friend Don't wanna be the wind There's nothing left for me And I hate the thought of finally being erased But baby, that's the best of me Everything's behind you But the hopeless signs beside you I'm living in the 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 favourite song Don't wanna be the wind There's nothing left to say You know that some of us spin again And when you do, you need a friend Don't wanna be the wind There's nothing left for me And I hate the thought of finally being erased But baby, that's the best of me, yeah Baby, that's the best of me You know I'm hoping you'll sing along Though it's not your favourite song Don't wanna be the wind There's nothing left to say You know that some of us spin again And when you do, you need a friend Don't wanna be the wind There's nothing left for me And I hate the thought of finally being erased But baby, that's the best of me

Think I'm steel Tough as nails Never feel Never fail But you're wrong So damn wrong Feel the weight Of your hate I still bleed My heart aches As you take And you take Words cut through my skin Tears roll down my chin My walls crumble within But I'll take it all on And get up when I fall 'Til the last curtain call But you'll never get the best of me, no more Said you'll never get the best of me, no more Aren't you tired of throwing stones Trying to kick me when I'm down But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't So you're cold Made of ice Heart of stone Born to fight But I cry I still cry Are you happy You know I'm unhappy You know Take your shot I'm wide open Words cut through my skin Tears roll down my chin My walls crumble within But I'll take it all on And get up when I fall 'Til the last curtain call But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't Said you'll never get the best of me, no more Aren't you tired of throwing stones Trying to kick me when I'm down But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't Said you'll never get the best of me, no more Aren't you tired of throwing stones Trying to kick me when I'm down But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't Heartbroken an beaten Knocked down and mistreated I will rise undefeated I will not let you bring me down Now the pain is deleted And I will never repeat it I will rise and defeat it I will not let you bring me down No, I won't let you bring me down Knocked down and mistreated Heartbroken and bleeding Still I rise undefeated 'Cause you'll never... 'Cause you'll never get the best of me, no you won't Said you'll never get the best of me, no more Aren't you tired of throwing stones Trying to kick me when I'm down But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't Heartbroken and bleeding Knocked down and mistreated I will rise undefeated I will not let you bring me down Now the pain is deleted And I will never repeat it I will rise and defeat it I will not let you bring me down

I can't sing like Marvin Gaye, no I can't play that grand piano I never was at the top of my class I never threw no touchdown pass All I got is cut glass to stand on Cuz I never planned on getting my hands on No kind of cash or a woman like you That could last the whole life through But now that you're here, it seems so clear Now I ain't got no southern mansion And I ain't much good at slow dancing I never swam the English Channel And people they say I'm hard to handle Cuz I'm like a candle in the wind But where you end is where I begin And I never win cuz I'm good at losing And thank the Lord I'm good at choosing Cuz now that you're here, it seems so clear When the lights go down and the music plays I feel like a king that could sing for days I know sometimes that we don't always agree They scream for more and the more I give It takes a toll on the way we live Please forgive me baby and try and see Yeah try and see Please try and see That you get the best of me Now I didn't make no reservations And I didn't plan no great vacation Cuz I've been chasing rain drops falling Running from love when it keeps calling And I know you think I'm just playing the field But let me show you girl what's real Cuz I'm all in like a crazy gambler And though I don't have all the answers Now that you're here, it seems so clear When the lights go down and the music plays I feel like a king that could sing for days I know sometimes that we don't always agree They scream for more and the more I give It takes a toll on the life we live Please forgive me baby and try and see Yeah try and see Please try and see That you get the best of me When the lights go down and the music plays I feel like a king that could sing for days I know sometimes that we don't always agree They scream for more and the more I give It takes a toll on the life we live Please forgive me baby and try and see Yeah try and see Please try and see That you get the best of me Best of me Best of me You get the best of me Best of me Best of me You get the best of me You get the best of me
