The Best of Me

We came from nothing
And worked out way up to everything
Our family and friends saw us
As our heads grow tal

Taller than the trees
And now you think you’re above of evrything
You did just what you knew what not to do
You let it go to your head
You did the things you said we’d never do
And now you’ve thrown it all away
For the things you’ve gained
You said:

“This is not how it was supposed to be
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Somethings are never as they seem
I’m not who you want me to be
These things are never changing
The fame has got the best of me”

And now you’re something
Something you should not have become
And everyone, they saw you
‘Cause your head’s grown tall
Taller than the city
In which you looked down on everything

You did just what you knew what not to do
You let it go to your head
You did the things you said we’d never do
And now you’ve thrown it all away
For the things you’ve gained
You said:

“This is not how it was supposed to be
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Somethings are never as they seem
I’m not who you want me to be
These things are never changing
The fame has got the best of me”
(You let it go to your head)

You said:
“This is not how it was supposed to be
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Somethings are never as they seem
I’m not who you want me to be
These things are never changing
The fame has got the best of me”
