best for me

written on 1/17/2022, this song was written for a specific girl i had a crush on at the time of writing this, and to show her that id never cheat on her for another girl. i wanted to write this song to show how dedicated i am, and that i would write a song just for her.

brainstorm

• write a song for [the girl i liked at the time of writing this song]
• let her know im not a cheater
• express how im open to helping myself in any way possible

first draft

(verse 1)

its saturday, and im not seeing your face
its a new day, just to lay around and wait for you to respond (oh yeah, oh yeah)
its time i let you know what im thinkin on saturday
oh, thinkin on saturday

(chorus)

you know i cant stop, wont stop, i will never abandon you
cause youre the one i think about every new morning
its so hard to let go, its so hard to say no
but im not sure what is best for me, oh, best for me

(verse 2)

when im around you, im a totally different person
when i see you, i can see a whole new world inside you
when can it be, when can it be just possible?
when can i love, when can i love being with you?
its hard not to see us together, oh its hard
its hard not to dream us together

(chorus)

you know i cant stop, wont stop, i will never abandon you
cause youre the one i think about every new morning
its so hard to let go, its so hard to say no
but im not sure what is best for me, oh, best for me

(bridge)

oh oh oh
what would my life be without seeing your face?
oh oh oh
what kind of person would i be?
oh oh oh
who would i like without you?
oh, the questions go on and on

(chorus)

you know i cant stop, wont stop, i will never abandon you
cause youre the one i think about every new morning
its so hard to let go, its so hard to say no
but im not sure what is best for me, oh, best for me

(outro)

whats best for me, best for me?
whats best for me, best for me?
oh, whats best, best for me?

second draft

(verse 1)

i wake up to just another classic saturday
nothings ever been planned for today
just laying around waiting for the notification sound
looking at stuff on instagram that is destined to astound
its time i let you know what life is like for me
its time i let you know how much you are to me

(chorus)

you know i cant stop, wont stop, i will never abandon you
cause doing so would leave me so blue
i want to have the best time i ever could with you
i want to never break up with someone like you
but its hard to know what is best for me
and i want to do whatever is best for me

(verse 2)

when im around you, im a totally different person
when i see you, i just want some time together
when can it be possible, when can i really love you?
is it already happening, do i already truly love you?
