I Liked You Best

Counting the days as the months disappear

Slip back, forget you should be here

It's too easy for me not to say

And I couldn't help but notice

That you and me are spinning way too fast to stop

Take a breath and close my eyes

And it's a simple kind of silence that falls between us now

We stared at cracking walls as the ceiling tumbled down

And I think it hurts more than I can say, so I won't try

This is your pride

I've given you nothing but time

Gone so quickly

When did you stop missing me?

Dangling legs and feet precariously avoiding your conscience

Whatever helps the year go by

And I've been thinking about all the holes in my shoes and tears in your sweater so

So what if you're not coming back?

And it's a simple kind of silence that falls between us now

We stared at cracking walls as the ceiling tumbled down

And I think it hurts more than I can say 'cause you know what you're doing

I was on your side

Maybe you were never fine

I'm your regret

But I liked you best

I liked you best

I liked you best

You made this mess

But I liked you best

I liked you best

I liked you best

You made this mess

But I liked you best
