The Best of You versuri

The Best of You lyrics by Never Any Ordinary

Verse 1
Saying prayers to numb the pain
But I can’t comprehend anything
Around my neck, my tie’s too loose
And yet it’s strangling to think of you
Alive and well
I just hope I’m happy in hell
When I fall one day
I know I’ll fall one day

Verse 2
I’m kicking rocks again, too soon
Under the lowlight of the new moon
Holidays will pass me by
I can’t think of a reason why I’d ever be
On a concrete slab where I once lived
Pacing back and forth again and again
Somedays I feel like my
Self-assurance is caving in

Refrain
You see right through me
I know I never got the best of you
But still

Chorus
I really miss you
The slow days, and your jealous phasе
But now I can’t be near you
Mixed feelings, oftеn had, but I never wanted you gone for good

Verse 3
Wouldn’t it be nice
If I could live up to your design?
Am I mute? Could you hold the door?
But I’ll never get up off this floor
A substrate for all to lay
Open containers of everything
I’ll commandeer this sinking ship
Trying to sail out of all this shit

Refrain
And I know
You see right through me
I know I never got the best of you

Chorus
I really miss you
The slow days, and your jealous phase
But now I can’t be near you
Mixed feelings, often had, but I never wanted you gone for good
