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?

| lafcadio (Knox-vegas) | Posted: Nov 30, 2012 - 05:12 I feel like all her songs sound the same. It's a good song, but one will do. |

| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Sep 14, 2011 - 16:49 I heard this once before and liked it and commented. I have now heard it again and I like it more. 7>8. |

| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: May 11, 2011 - 16:37 her "vocal stylings" usually annoy the shit out of me, but not so much here. I really like this tune. |

| weena (anchorage alaska) | Posted: Aug 19, 2005 - 21:31 Best Bit is really a great song. My first exposure to Beth...probably in '98? on a station here in Anchorage. But from what I can tell, y'all have never played it...Play it! Please? |
