Elbow - My Very Best lyrics

Well, give that girl my very best

Though it never made the grade

If it seems that it's just not enough to love

Then love lie down

And would you tell her

Not to talk as if I died

Though a tiny part just did

And would you tell her

I'm from a long line of survivors

And I'll be swinging with the kids

Keep your sympathy

Don't need the healing to start

You've gone

Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart

In the corner of the room

In the room we used to love

Of the love we should say this

There were switches never flicked

Long away and far apart

That's how forest fires start

Start again it felt like this

Fresh and simple as a kiss

I bounce these feelings off the moon

The echoes don't come back

Keep your sympathy

Don't need the healing to start

You've gone

Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart

Of the love we should say this

There were, there were switches never flicked

Keep your sympathy

Don't need the healing to start

You've gone

Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart

Keep your sympathy

Don't need the healing to start

You've gone
