Lyrics My Best - Vanessa Carlton

My Best

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
