She Gets Your Best - ArlenaZara
I spent years trying to pull you from the dark
Begging for a fire, praying for a single spark
You were always tired, you were always so drained
And I just held the umbrella every time that it rained
I loved you at your lowest when you had nothing to give
But now you've suddenly discovered how you want to live
She gets your best
She gets your light
She gets the version of you that knows how to treat her right
I did all the heavy lifting
I weathered all your storms
But she is the one who gets to keep you safe and warm
I was the lesson that you had to learn through every test
I got your broken pieces and she gets your best
I see the reservations at the places we couldn't go
Because you told me going out always made you feel so low
Now you're buying her flowers on a random Tuesday noon
And promising to hang her every star around the moon
You never had the energy to ask me how my day went by
But now you're looking at her like she is the only one alive
It is a bitter pill to swallow
It is a devastating view
To see the man I prayed for finally coming into view
But he isn't standing here beside me holding onto my hand
He is giving someone else the life that I had carefully planned
‘Cause she gets your best
She gets your light
She gets the version of you that knows how to treat her right
I did all the heavy lifting
I weathered all your storms
But she is the one who gets to keep you safe and warm
I was the lesson that you had to learn through every test
I got your broken pieces and she gets your best
The man I always knew was there
Is finally awake
But it is too late for my sake
I built the foundation for her house
She gets your best
