Vanessa Carlton - My Best lyrics

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 wont ever tell

Our secrets 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

It's like you never left

It's like you never left

We scream and shout and try to make it last
