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 theres still some left for
you
theres 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 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 theres still some left for
you
theres still some left unspoken for
i hope that i saved the best of me for you
