Every move I make's a disaster
Every time I slow she goes faster
Every time I stop well she's past me
Every time I ask I get shut down
Every time I'm right it turns right round
With every little peace sign we fall out
But I try to be the best man I can be
I tried to be the best boyfriend she'd ever seen
I tried to be the soldier and take the lead
And when she puts her foot down I try to be me
I try to be the best man I can be
I tried to be the best damn friend she'll ever need
I tried to be the shoulder which she could lean
And when the story ends well I try to be me
Every single message is a day late
And spoken in a language I can't translate
And with every little lock there's a big gate
That won't let me in
Every time I stand I should sit down
With every little word it turns into a shout
So I'm burning every bridge on the way down
I try to be the best man I can be
I tried to be the best boyfriend she'd ever seen
I tried to be the soldier and take the lead
And when she puts her foot down I try to be me
I try to be the best man I can be
I tried to be the best damn friend she'll ever need
I tried to be the shoulder which she could lean
And when the story ends well I try to be me
