Best of Me
Michael Buble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴So many years gone, still I remember
How did I ever let my heart believe
In one who never gave enough to me
And so many years gone, love that was so wrong
I can't forget the way it used to be
And how you changed the taste of love for me
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd findYou were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one could ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
And we'll have no ending if we can hold on
I think I've come this far because of you
Could be no other love but ours will do
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
You were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one could ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
No one will ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
That I might have saved the best
The very best of me for you

Line by Line Meaning
So many years gone, still I remember
Even though so much time has passed, I still recall the memories we shared
How did I ever let my heart believe
I question myself for placing my trust in someone who didn't reciprocate it
In one who never gave enough to me
I invested my emotions in someone who didn't value and cherish it as I did
And so many years gone, love that was so wrong
Our relationship was flawed and unhealthy, even though it lasted for years
I can't forget the way it used to be
Despite the negative aspects, I still cling on to the good times we had
And how you changed the taste of love for me
Your actions altered my perception and experience of love
You were my one more chance
I thought you were my last opportunity to find love
I never thought I'd find
I believed that finding true love was impossible for me
You were the one romance
You were the love story that I always imagined and desired
I've always known in my mind
Deep down, I had a feeling that we were meant to be together
No one could ever touch me more
No one has ever made me feel as loved and cared for as you did
I only hope that in return
I pray that I was able to give you back the same amount of love that you gave me
I might have saved the best of me for you
I hope that I was able to give you my purest and most authentic self
And we'll have no ending if we can hold on
If we are patient and committed, our love story will have no conclusion
I think I've come this far because of you
You have played a substantial role in making me the person that I am today
Could be no other love but ours will do
Our love is unique and irreplaceable
No matter how much we have to learn
Even though we are not perfect, we will continue to grow and develop as individuals
That I might have saved the best
I hope that I was able to give you my all
The very best of me for you
I wanted to give you nothing but the best of who I am
