Best I Can Do

Pick up the phone and I dial your number
But I don't call cause I always remember
Just how easily you lose your temper
Challenge everything between New Year's and December

I'm afraid our last words were the last words that we'll speak

We've said goodbye and
My tears aren't drying
You still wonder why there's
No walk down the aisle
Why you'll never meet my child
And why the best I can do
Is not to be like you

Kept your number and your address, every photo, every necklace
Even post-its to hold on to something good
But I can't keep compensating all the loving and the hating
If you pick me up to throw me to the wolves

I'm afraid our last words were the last words that we'll speak

We've said goodbye and
My tears aren't drying
You still wonder why there's
No walk down the aisle
Why you'll never meet my child
And why the best I can do
Is not to be like you

Yeah we've said goodbye and
My tears aren't drying
Cause it's terrifying
Being scared that you'll die and
Let go before I can
While the best I can do
Is not to be like you

Are you sorry for the screaming, the ruined birthday evenings
The promises you broke by coming and leaving
Or are you preying on my demons, toying with my feelings
Saying what I want you to say

Well we've said goodbye and
My tears aren't drying
You still wonder why there's
No walk down the aisle
Why you'll never meet my child
And why the best I can do
Is not to be like you

Yeah we've said goodbye and
My tears aren't drying
Cause it's terrifying
Being scared that you'll die and
Let go before I can
While the best I can do
Is not to be like you

Yeah the best I can do
Is not to be like you
