Best That I Can Do

(Allison Moorer/Doyle Primm)

When you left,

I never thought

I'd say I'm alright without you anyway

But just because

I say the words

Don't mean

I think they're true

It's just that it's the best that

I can do I don't go to places you might be

I can't take the chance that we might meet

But just because

I've stayed away

Don't mean

I wanted to

It's just that it's the best that

I can do Someday

I'll do better, but till then

I can't let you know how hurt

I've been

I wish I had you back with me

But I won't play on your sympathy

To get you in my arms once again

I admit there are others

I have seen

Sometimes

I need the company

But just because

I'm loving them

Don't mean

I'm over you

It's just that it's the best that

I can do
