lyrics

Expect me to break down
Expect me to turn around
Expect nothing from me
I had a dream last night
There appeared a little old man
He said get out while you still can

But I've tried and I've failed and I've fought and I've flailed
But I keep coming back to you.
I’ve tried the best, I've compared the rest to you

Spend time stumbling
Craving the amazing
Just don’t know how to get there
Should you have come here?
Should we have gone there?
Sometimes it’s just better to be alone here

'Cuase I've tried and I've failed and I've fought and I've flailed
But I keep coming back to you
I’ve tried the best, I've compared the rest to you
Yes, I've tried and I've failed and I've fought and I've flailed
But I keep coming back to you
I've tried the rest and you’re the best I can do

So please, please
Make me believe that this will all makes sense
That it’ll all work out at no one’s expense
Please make me believe...
'Cause I climb, I fall, I feel high, I crawl
Yes, I climb, I fall, I feel high, I crawl

I've tried and I've failed and I've fought and I've flailed
But I keep coming back to you
I've tried the best, compared the rest to you
I tried and I failed and I fought and I flailed
But I keep coming back to you
I've tried the rest and you’re the best I can do
Baby, you’re the best, simply the best I can do
