The Best of Me

Lost myself in your wishing well, and you’re breaking this heart of mine.

Counting cracks in the wedding bells and you’re breaking this heart of mine.

Your rain pours down on my parade like angels crying razorblades.

Walking hand-in-hand with a hand grenade, and you’re breaking this heart of mine.

Shotgun eyes with a bullet smile yeah, you’re breaking this heart of mine.

Give an inch and you’ll take a mile yes your're breaking this heart of mine.

This love for you I can’t explain, I've only got myself to blame,

Because life’s a drag with this ball and chain and you’re breaking this heart of mine.

And though it seems like yesterday I was your only one,

It’s plain to see our season’s come and gone.

By giving you the best of me the worst is what I’ve done.

To think you thought that I could do no wrong.

Scream and shout, yeah, ya’ run your mouth, and you’re breaking this heart of mine.

Hang around like a thunder cloud yes you’re breaking this heart of mine.

The green-eyed monsters sing the blues I wait up every night for you,

but the morning paper says I'm old news and you're breaking this heart of mine.

And though it seems like yesterday I was your only one.

It’s plain to see our season’s come and gone.

By giving you the best of me the worst is what I’ve done.

To think you thought that I could do no wrong.

Bottoms up and now knock ‘em back yes, you’re breaking this heart of mine.

Got some rope and a railroad track yes, you're breaking this heart of mine.

I taste his lips each time we kiss and you just call me a hypocrite.

Yeah, I think its time that we called it quits 'cause your breaking this heart of mine.
