The Best of Me Lyrics by Keaton Stromberg

The Simple Life (Deluxe)

2017

Verse 1:
We came from nothing
And worked our way up to everything
Our friends and family saw us
As our heads grew tall
Taller than the trees
And now you think you’re above everything
Pre:
You did just what you knew not to do
You let it go to your head
You did the things we said we’d never do
And now you’ve thrown it all away
For the things you’ve gained
You said
Chorus:
This is not how it was supposed to be
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Some things 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
Verse 2:
And now you’re something
Something you should not have become
And everyone they saw you
As your head grew tall
Taller than this city
In which you look down on everything
Pre:
You did just what you knew not to do
You let it go to your head
You did the things we said we’d never do
And now you’ve thrown it all away
For the things you’ve gained
You said
Chorus:
This is not how it was supposed to be
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Some things 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
Bridge:
The fame has got the best of me
(You let it go to your head)
You said
Chorus:
This is not how it was supposed to be
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Some things 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
