Best for Me

Lyrics

[Chorus: Jelly Roll] How can you love someone and learn to let them go? How can we fall apart on things we'll never know? And isn't it funny you can change your ways For someone to fill in your empty space? Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay? [Verse 1: Joyner Lucas] Yeah, I got somebody I love (Yeah) Someone who's really important to me, but now they addicted to drugs (Damn) Someone who not who they used to be and we ain't been keepin' in touch (Yeah) I ain't gonna say any names at all 'cause I don't want no one to judge (Woah) But I wrotе this song in hopes when they hеar it, they'll never forget who they was I hope you feelin' your spirit enough (Joyner) I wanna just tell you I love you in case that you really don't hear it as much (Woah) I know we ain't talked in a while, but fuck it, I really don't care what it was I wanna reach out, but you keep on shuttin' me down, or you ain't been carin' as much And what the fuck happened to you? (Fuck happened to you?) You losin' the fight (Damn) I never thought I'd see the day that you let addiction ruin your life Everyone callin' that shit a disease and makin' you feel like you in the right But I hate the fact that you really be usin' that as an excuse to do what you like Or do what you might (Do what you might, woah) And I keep on prayin' and reachin' for you I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I been seein' in you Hope your reflection'll send you a message and show you this shit is much deeper than you If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believin' in you And I gotta tell you the truth (Tell you the truth) 'Cause I'm 'bout to lose it (Lose it) And you in denial about it and just wanna make up a million excuses Tearin' our family apart, but you'll leave us scarred and everyone bruises Every decision affectin' us all and if you get lost, then everyone loses For real And I'ma be next to leave I heard that God got a plan and He ain't fulfillin' your destiny Much as I need you, I will not be stickin' around or watchin' you rest in peace I promise, I love you, but I gotta do what's best for me [Chorus: Jelly Roll] How can you love someone and learn to let them go? How can we fall apart on things we'll never know? And isn't it funny you can change your ways For someone to fill in your empty space? Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay? [Verse 2: Joyner Lucas] Look, I know you been callin' for me (Yeah) You hit up my phone, but I been alone so long, I'm harder to reach (Joyner) I know you ain't say any names, but I got a feeling you talkin' to me I hate when these demons get into my soul, I feel like I'm caught in the beefs (Uh) How do I let go of something I know is bigger and stronger than me? If I could be honest, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not who you want me to be (Nah) Nobody is perfect, not even you, so why you keep targetin' me? I feel like we can't even have a genuine convo without you startin' to preach I felt like a dog on a leash, it's not what I need Livin' in hell, wondering when I gotta leave, like how can I breathe? And how you gon' tell me addiction's not a disease? Fuck do you mean? If it's not a disease, then why has it gotten to me? It's not what it seems But you always be makin' me feel like the problem is me I'm not gonna be who you want me to be, let God decide it for me And speakin' of God, how the fuck you know all of the plans He's gotten for me? So give me a break I been inchin' away from tryna get outta this dream, I'm driftin' away How come you only there for me when I be tryna get clean? My biggest mistake Is me wishin' that things were different, I feel like the drugs is made for sinnin' It's why I been stuck in the same position, fuck I'm fallin', but I cannot budge Been wonderin' why I'm in love with a strange addiction And why the fuck you always playin' the victim Lot of this shit that you hate to mention It sucks 'cause I had to taint your vision But ain't nothin' left for me So you could just quit addressin' me I guess it's just my destiny So take me as I am or let me be, I'm tired of you stressin' me 'Cause shit, I gotta do what's best for me [Chorus: Jelly Roll] How can you love someone and learn to let them go? How can we fall apart on things we'll never know? And isn't it funny you can change your ways For someone to fill in your empty space? Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?
