Best of Me - Audiotree Live Version

the ghosts never seem to die
when you're up trembling at night
and even the best ones, they end with the same sting
why does it feel so bad to remember everything

i'm waiting for you to come back and possess me
the worst part is that you've got the best of me
in a box that you've buried beneath your sheets
and now i'm wondering if it's keeping you from sleep
you can hold my hand but the bottleneck seems much more promising
don't you think
don't you say a word

if the numbness is our only common ground
at least we've got something to talk about
we were the saddest sight to see,
drawing blood from the tears in our seams
and i can't say i'm sorry
with the taste of yours still on my teeth

i'm waiting for you to come back and possess me
the worst part is that you've got the best of me
in a box that you've buried beneath your sheets
and now i'm wondering if it's keeping you from sleep
you can hold my hand but the bottleneck seems much more promising
don't you think
don't you say a word

my mouth is dry from the words that i have swallowed
and i'm choking through my staggered sighs
you bite my lip but i'm tearing through your body
just to even up the score

i'm waiting for you to come back and possess me
the worst part is that you've got the best of me
in a box that you've buried beneath your sheets
and now i'm wondering if it's keeping you from sleep
you can hold my hand but the bottleneck seems much more promising
don't you think
don't you say a word
