Lyrics
The best of you (The best of you)
Never did much for you (Never did much for you)
I guess it's true (I guess it's true)
You can't really change the person you'll be
The least I can do is cut myself free
I heard the screaming in my dreaming every night
I awake and I'm still mistaking you for right
The worst of me (The worst of me)
Forget my best today (Forget my best today)
Don't laugh, you'll see (Don't laugh, you'll see)
I'll carefully choose the words that I say and try to pretend it, all is okay
I heard the scrеaming in my dreaming every night
I awakе and I'm still mistaking you for right
Broke myself and hoped I still could save some pace
Now I'm floating and controlling in this state of grace
I heard the screaming in my dreaming every night
I awake, and I'm still mistaking you for right
Broke myself and hoped I still could save some pace
Now, I'm floating and controlling in this state of grace
