The Best of Me
shove me off the edge
now you are the one
with the worst of things in mind
you ever could have done
comfort your remorse
lay it down to rest
ruin someone else's life
is what you can do best
what am i now
that i was then
which i should suffer more
and act again
cause when you turned
your hate at me
how'd you expect
it's gonna be
it's a warning
it's a warning
you'll pay for what you did to me
it's a warning
it's a warning
you will never take the best of me
is it all about
redemption that you seek
to tackle the defenseless
and by torturing the weak
now you used me up
and you will see
that the aching scratch
inside your bleeding heart is me
i don't need you
to hide it it from me
it's lying bare right now
for the world to see
and you may choke
me black and blue
still never be
messed up as you
it's a warning
it's a warning
you'll pay for what you did to me
it's a warning
it's a warning
you will never take the best of me
just one more thing
we're over and done
as the wretch that you are
you have never outwon
you're blinded by rage
and you drown in despair
one day it will be like
you've never been there
it's a warning
it's a warning
the scratch inside your heart is me
it's a warning
it's a warning
you'll pay for what you did to me
it's a warning
it's a warning
you will never take the best of me
now you are the one
with the worst of things in mind
you ever could have done
comfort your remorse
lay it down to rest
ruin someone else's life
is what you can do best
what am i now
that i was then
which i should suffer more
and act again
cause when you turned
your hate at me
how'd you expect
it's gonna be
it's a warning
it's a warning
you'll pay for what you did to me
it's a warning
it's a warning
you will never take the best of me
is it all about
redemption that you seek
to tackle the defenseless
and by torturing the weak
now you used me up
and you will see
that the aching scratch
inside your bleeding heart is me
i don't need you
to hide it it from me
it's lying bare right now
for the world to see
and you may choke
me black and blue
still never be
messed up as you
it's a warning
it's a warning
you'll pay for what you did to me
it's a warning
it's a warning
you will never take the best of me
just one more thing
we're over and done
as the wretch that you are
you have never outwon
you're blinded by rage
and you drown in despair
one day it will be like
you've never been there
it's a warning
it's a warning
the scratch inside your heart is me
it's a warning
it's a warning
you'll pay for what you did to me
it's a warning
it's a warning
you will never take the best of me
