BEST BIT

From a soul I found some pride
Only found this after she died
From a woman I acquired such grace
Everybody seemed to want to take her place

The best part to life it seemed
The best part of life was a dream
The best part to breakin' up
Is when I'm wakin' up to see
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be
Never seemed quite what it use to seem

Wasn't sure it was never quite clear
What the hell was happening all around here
Never seemed to make much sense
All that fuss for just a lack of common sense

The best part to life it seemed
The best part of life was a dream
The best part to breakin' up
Is when I'm wakin' up to see
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be
Never seemed quite what it use to seem
Can not be all that it used to be
You're not as quiet as you used to be

What did you seem?
What did you mean?
