My Best

Vanessa Carlton · Heroes & Thieves [2007]

Mmm

Hmm

Mmm

Hmm



We scream and shout and try to make it last

Though it didn't work out I don't love you any less



My lover or friend

I won't ever tell

Our secret's safe

An unspoken citadel



And in these broken times

Well it's so easy to forget

So I sing to remind

Upon my shoulder you can rest 'cause I'll always give you my best



A sidewalk's path leads me to you

Though we don't look back we hold on to a truth



And in these broken times I promise I will not forget

Though you're not mine

Upon your shoulder I can rest 'cause you always give me your best



Like a promise kept

It's like you never left

It's like you never left



And though it's been so long I can't ever seem to forget

All it takes is a song and I could swear I hear your steps



Down the hall echoes a past that leaves an ache

It's never left

'Cause I gave you my best



Oh

Yeah



It's like you never left

It's like you never left



We scream and shout and try to make it last
