[Verse 1]
My back is tired from carrying the weight of us
And my arms are giving out from holding us up (Holding us)
The city's on fire, it started with the two of us
So I’m packing it up, and I'm getting out while I still can

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, we had a good, long run, didn't we? (Mhm)
We should quit while we still play nice
We had some real good times, didn’t we? (Mhm)
Didn't we?

[Chorus]
When it ends tonight, I bet I'll sleep just fine
Knowing I did the best I can
Might hurt a little now, but come the morning light
Maybe then you will understand
I'm gonna write on your favorite song
You won't notice until I'm gone
When it ends tonight, I know I'll be alright
'Cause I did the best I can

[Verse 2]
Bent over backwards, I guess you never saw
(All I did, all I’ve done)
The time and attention, I swear I gave it all
(And what’d I get? I got none)
I don't get self-righteous, but my body can’t take another day

[Pre-Chorus]
But hey, we had some real good fun, didn't we?
Didn't we?

[Chorus]
When it ends tonight, I bet I'll sleep just fine
Knowing I did the best I can
Might hurt a little now, but come the morning light
Maybe then you will understand
I’m gonna write on your favorite song
You won't notice until I'm gone
When it ends tonight, I know I'll be alright
'Cause I did the best I can

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh)
I did the best I can, the best I can
(Ooh)
I did the best I can

[Bridge]
Hold me tighter
Make it last forever
Amidst the fire
Hold it all together

[Chorus]
When it ends tonight, I bet I'll sleep just fine (Ooh, baby)
Knowing I did the best I can
Might hurt a little now, but come the morning light
Maybe then you will understand
I'm gonna write on your favorite song (Favorite song)
You won't notice until I'm gone ('Til I'm gone)
When it ends tonight, I know I'll be alright
'Cause I did the best I can

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh)
I did the best I can, yeah, I did the best I can
(Ooh)
I did the best I can
