My Best

Mm-mm-mm-mmm
We scream and shout
And try to make it least
Though it didn't work out
I don't love you any less
My lover or friend
I won't ever tell
Our secret safe - an unspoken citadel
And in these broken times
When it's so easy to forget
So I sing to remind upon my shoulder you can rest
Because I'll always give you my best
A sidewalk 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
Because you always give me your best
It's like a promised kept
It's like you never left
It's like you never left
Mm-mm-mm-mmm
Ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
I know it's been so long
I can never seem to forget
All it takes is a song
And I can swear I hear your steps down the hall
Down the hall that goes up past
That leaves an ache
Because I gave you my best
It's like you never left
it's like you never left
Ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
We scream and shout
And try to make it least
