"Best Bit" lyrics - BETH ORTON

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 used 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 used to seem
Cannot be all that it used to be
You're not as quiet as you used to be

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 wakin' up
Is when I'm breakin' up to see
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be
Never seemed quite what it used to seem
Cannot be all that it used to be
You're not as quiet as you used to seem

What did you seem?
What did you mean?
