My Best - Vanessa Carlton

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

It’s like a promise kept

It’s like you never left

It’s like you never left

I know 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 that goes up past

That leaves an ache, it’s never left

'Cause I gave you my best

It’s like you never left

It’s like you never left

We scream and shout

And try to make it last
