I've been the portrait to the painter
I've been the object of the hater
I've seen a lot of people come and go
I've seen the sun come up on Tokyo
I've seen it rise of New York so
Don't be alarmed if I don't settle down

You see, I'm new to your town and I'm ready to change
But I hope that I saved the best of me for you
The rest of me has been broken up and scattered around

And after all that I gave there's still some left for you
There's still some left unspoken for
I hope that I saved the best of me for you

I've felt my heart break just once but
I've been the breaker more than once
See, I'm so ashamed of the boy I was
With no regard to others feelings
I've been a fake, I've been deceiving
Don't be alarmed if I don't settle down

See, I'm new to your town and I'm ready to change
But I hope that I saved the best of me for you
The rest of me has been broken up and scattered around

And after all that I gave there's still some left for you
There's still some left unspoken for
I hope that I saved the best of me for you

And not once, but a million times I've tried to get it down
And just once I'd like to try and
Give some love without hurting someone

I hope that I saved the best of me for you
The rest of me has been broken up and scattered around
And after all that I gave, there's still some left for you
There's still some left unspoken for

I hope that I saved the best of me for you
The rest of me has been broken up and scattered around
And after all that I gave, there's still some left for you
There's still some left unspoken for
I hope that I saved the best of me for you, for you
The best of me for you
