I WISHED YOU ALL THE BEST

I WISHED YOU ALL THE BEST 

Though you were never the one 

For me to lose at all 

I wished you all the best 

Because you forced me to do so 

Knowing I was your best 

And you'll never get anyone better 

I wished you all the best 

Because despite being your best 

You failed to notice I was 

And that made us what we became 

The scars will remain forever 

I wished you all the best 

Because no matter how I tried

You made me seem failing 

And that was the least I'd sit 

And watch myself do 

So I had to let things be 

I wished you all the best 

Though deep in my heart I knew 

I was the best for you 

And you the best for me 

Yes, we were the best for us

But we failed to acknowledge it 

And so we had to part 

I wished you all the best 

Hoping fate would bring us each 

The very best we deserved 

Coz even if I couldn't 

It'd still happen anyway 

So I packed the remaining half of me 

And ran into the world 

Hoping to get the rest waiting 

Along the way for us -for me
