Your best won't do
Your best won't do
Give it all you got, it won't do
No reward, no satisfaction
You've got everything to lose
When he gets home, his cake is gone
When he wakes up, his mind is gone
All that could go wrong
Has gone wrong
He'll never know what he's missing
But you know exactly what you're missing
Never stop clenching your fists
Eyes shut so tight, shut so tight
Switch the light on, switch it off
You never wake up, the top never stops
You can't tell the time
Or how you got here
They won't sell but there is someone
Someone willing to buy the whole lot
Say your sorries, what's done is done
Feign ignorance and apologize
Your best won't do
Your best won't do
