lyrics

you told me that I wasn't good enough for you
you told me that I wasn't strong enough
to lift you up
and I'd let you down

you told me
no matter how I tried
I'd be a failure
but I hate to break it to you
I really don't care
no no

cuz it's the best I can do
it's the hardest I can try
no I won't let you get me down
I won't let you through
cuz it's the best I can do

wait at a signal and the light turns green
and I move on thinking
I wander her face
I let the dark out

you told me
no matter how I tried
I'd be a failure
but I hate to break it to you
I really don't care
no no

cuz it's the best I can do
it's the hardest I can try
no I won't let you get me down
I won't let you through
cuz it's the best I can do

there's nothing you can say to me
to take away my dignity
shame on you for throwing daggers
when I've got no armor
I admit I've made mistakes
too quick to hit the brakes
but I'll get going again
it just takes me longer
and I don't care cuz I'm doing the best
that I can do

it's the best that I can do and no one's gonna stop me
