Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"My Best"

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
