🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • The best of you?
  • Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
  • The best of you?
  • Are you gone and on to someone new?

Echo the hook

  • Has someone taken your faith?
  • It's real, the pain you feel
  • Your trust, you must confess
  • Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
