Best For You Meaning & Lyrics (Isac Elliot)

Elliot describes working on a dream for his partner while admitting ‘I’m not the best for you’. He mentions hiding his true self as ‘Ikke’ and recalls late nights alone: ‘You smile, but you haven’t forgotten’. The lyrics show painful self-awareness about letting someone go.

Stone By StoneStone by stone.
I’m Workin’ On A Dream For YouI’m working on a dream for you.
The Best For YouThe best for you.
Pari Vuotta Sit Purkasin Tunteit AineisiinA few years ago, I poured my feelings into ‘substances’.
Amanis Mä Sippaan Matchaa Vaik En Tykkää SiitAt Amani’s, I sip on matcha even though I don’t like it.
Wifey Fiilaa Joten Mulla Ei Oo VaihtiksiiMy girl’s into it, so I don’t have any other choice.
Jos Menettäisin Tän Pitäisköhän Se Musta KiiIf I lost this, would she still hold on to me?
Nää On MiljooniiThese moments are worth millions.
En Muista Millo Viimeks Laskin SatasiiI don’t remember the last time I counted hundred-euro bills.
Mä Luulin Että Onnellisuus Löytyy NiistI thought that happiness could be found in them.
Mut Usko Mua Ku Sanon Et Se Ei Oo Niin (For You)But believe me when I say it isn’t like that (for you).
Sul On Ocean Eyes Mihin Hukutat MutYou’ve got ocean eyes that you’re drowning me in.
Alat Ymmärtää Mihin Sä Oot AjautunuYou’re starting to understand where you’ve drifted.
Monta Iltaa Sä Oot Yksin Koton NukahtanuYou’ve fallen asleep alone at home so many nights.
Sä Hymyilet Mut Sä Et Ole UnohtanuYou smile, but you haven’t forgotten.
Stadin Yössä Sä Kadotat IttesIn the Helsinki ‘Stadi’ night, you lose yourself.
Meikit Pilal Jos Sä Nyt Alat ItkeeYour makeup will be ruined if you start crying now.
Sä Tunnet Mut Mut Sä Et Tunne IkkeeYou know me, but you don’t know the real ‘Ikke’.
Mä En Oo The Best For YouI’m not the best for you.
Sä Oot Hävinny Jo Liian Monta TaisteluaYou’ve already lost too many battles.
Vaatii Rohkeutta Et Pystyy AntautumaaIt takes courage to be able to surrender.
Mä En Oo The Best For YouI’m not the best for you.
Kiitos Et Mä Sain Nää Vuodet Sun Kaa JakaaThank you for letting me share these years with you.
Sulle Tarpeeks Hyvää Miestä Musta Ei SaaI’ll never be a man who’s good enough for you.
Mä En Oo The Best For YouI’m not the best for you.
I’m Workin’ On A Dream For YouI’m working on a dream for you.
Ja Vaikka Mä En Oo Siin OsanAnd even though I’m not a part of it,
Tuut Aina Olee Osa Mua RakasYou’ll always be a part of me, my love.
Ja Joku Ääni Mussa Tulee Itkee Sua TakasAnd some voice in me is going to cry for you to come back.
Yeah Mut Sä Oot One In A MillionYeah, but you’re one in a million.
Joku Muu Ansaitsee Kyl Tuntee Sun Lämmön YeahSomeone else deserves to feel your warmth, yeah.
Se Sattuu Kun Sä Teet Lähdön Mä Haluun The Best For YouIt hurts when you leave, but I want the best for you.
Sul On Ocean Eyes Mihin Hukutat MutYou’ve got ocean eyes that you’re drowning me in.
Alat Ymmärtää Mihin Sä Oot AjautunuYou’re starting to understand where you’ve drifted.
Monta Iltaa Sä Oot Yksin Koton NukahtanuYou’ve fallen asleep alone at home so many nights.

Tartu Musta Kiinni Viimeistä KertaaHold on to me for the very last time.
Baby Mä Toivon Vaa The Best For YouBaby, I only hope for the best for you.
Kyynelistä Täyttyny Nii Monta MertaSo many seas have been filled with tears.
Nyt On Sun Aika Miettii The Best For YouNow it’s your time to think about what’s best for you.
