"Best For Last" lyrics

Best For Last

Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve?
It's been there for days on end and
It's been waiting for you to open up
Yours too baby, come on now
I'm trying to tell you just how
I'd like to hear the words
Roll out of your mouth finally
Say that it's always been me
That's made you feel
A way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need
And that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things
Without a clue
But you'd save the best for last
Like I'm the one for you

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This isn't a routine with you
It don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space
That happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away
With trying to play me

Why is it every time
I think I've tried my hardest
It turns out it ain't enough
Cause you're still not mentioning love
What am I supposed to do
To make you want me properly?
I'm taking these chances and getting away
And though I'm trying my hardest
You go back to her
And I think that I know
Things may never change
I'm still hoping
One day I might hear you say
I make you feel
A way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need
And you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things
Without a clue
But you'd save the best for last
Like I'm the one for you

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This isn't a routine with you
It don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space
That happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away
With trying to play me

But despite the truth I know
I find it hard to let go and give up on you
Seems I love the things you do
Like the meaner you treat me the more eager I am
To persist with this heartbreak and running around
And I will do
Until I find myself with you and
I make you feel a way
You've never felt before
And I'm all you need
And that you never want more
And we'll say all of the right things
Without a clue
And you'll be the one for me
And me the one for you
