the best of me

i could forget your name
i could forget your face forever
i could forget about the smile you always faked
the one you thought I bought, but never


i could forget your lies
i could forget to hide for always
i could forget how desperately you tried
flattery would get you nowhere
i could forget how you had tried to get the best of me


i could forget your pride
i could forget your wandering eyes
i could forget about the way you made me feel
you talk to me so condescending
i could forget how you had tried to get the best of me


you'll never forget that you never got me
