My Best by Vanessa Carlton Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
A sidewalk's path
Leads me to you
Though we don't look back
We hold on to a truth
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
It's like a promise kept
It's like you never left
It's like you never left

[Pre-Chorus 3]
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

[Chorus 2]
It's like you never left
It's like you never left

[Outro]
We scream and shout
And try to make it last
