Best of Me Lyrics

If today I'm not myself
Far off in some distant place
And I cannot seem to give
I know you see it in my face
If I could I would explain
Why I don't feel right in my skin
And though you give me all you can
It's hard for me to take it in
No, I'm not fine
But I'm not broken//


Go ahead, forget the rest of me
I love it when you get the best of me
If I was bad I never meant to be
I loved it when you got the best of me
Will you know just what you are to me
I love it when you get the best of me
Everyday is a long-gone memory
I love it when you get the best of me//

Lately I've been short on grace
Like my train jumped off the track
As soon as I hang up the phone
I wish that I could take it back
Sometimes the hours aren't enough
For all I think I need to do
Though I only have two hands
I'll grow a hundred more for you
‘Cause this is not me
It's my shadow//

Go ahead, forget the rest of me
I love it when you get the best of me
If I was bad I never meant to be
I loved it when you got the best of me
Will you know just what you are to me
I love it when you get the best of me
Everyday is a long-gone memory
I love it when you get the best of me//

I push away and you leave
I want to chase you down but I won't
The poison that you know, sometimes
Is stronger than the cure that you don't//

Last night I woke up in a sweat
From dreaming that you left for good
So much I had not told you yet
Though I always knew I should
It's like sand inside my mouth
Shards of glass stuck in my throat
It's beautiful to rise above
Too easy just to stay afloat//

Go ahead, forget the rest of me
I love it when you get the best of me
If I was bad I never meant to be
I loved it when you got the best of me
Will you know just what you are to me
I love it when you get the best of me
Everyday is a long-gone memory
I love it when you get the best of me
And if it takes up my last energy
I love it when you get
And please take this as my apology
I love it when you get
‘Cause everyday is just a memory
I love it when you get the best of me
I love it when you get the best of me
