my best

Vanessa Carlton

Mm-mm-mm-mmm
We scream and shout
And try to make it least
Though it didn?t work out
I don?t love you any less
My lover or friend
I won?t ever tell
Our secret safe - an unspoken citadel

And in these broken times
When it?s so easy to forget
So I sing to remind upon my shoulder you can rest
Because I?ll always give you my best

A sidewalk 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
Because you always give me your best

It?s like a promised kept
It?s like you never left
It?s like you never left

Mm-mm-mm-mmm
Ah-ahh-ahh-ahh

I know it?s been so long
I can never seem to forget
All it takes is a song
And I can swear I hear your steps down the hall
Down the hall that goes up past
That leaves an ache
Because I gave you my best

It?s like you never left
it?s like you never left

Ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
We scream and shout
And try to make it least
