The best of me
I can't hate you anymore
You stole my life
But couldn't give you what you need
But no matter how I try
I gave and gave
You walked away
I gave and gave
Will I ever understand?
Before it drains the light right from your eyes
To watch it fall
Just to find what you're looking for
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore
And burned the picture in a frame
And I can't go on that way
You stole my life
You walked away
And how could we quit something
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt
We built it up
To watch it fall
It slips right through your hands
I can't hate you anymore
And that's a shame but
But couldn't give you what you need
To watch it fall
Just to find what you're looking for
To watch it fall
I chased away the shadows of your name
The best of me
You walked away
We never even tried?
The best of me
We built it up
The best of me
There's only so many tears that you can cry
It drives you crazy
We built it up
But no matter how I try
You walked away
You're not the person that you used to be
I gave and gave
But couldn't give you what you need
I can't hate you anymore
Like we meant nothing at all
You stole my life
Of everything we were
But it couldn't save me
And so I'm letting go
Sometimes you hold so tight
Well you still can't tell me why
Like we meant nothing at all
Like we meant nothing at all
Like we meant nothing at all
The one I want who wanted me
You stole my life
We built it up
Just to find what you're looking for
But couldn't give you what you need
I gave and gave
Just to find what you're looking for
But no matter how I try
