Best I Can Do

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm afraid our last words were the last words that we'll speak

[Chorus]
We said goodbye and my tears aren't drying
And you still wonder why there's no walk down the aisle
Or why you never meet my child
And why the best I can do is not to be like you

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm afraid our last words were the last words that we'll speak

[Chorus]
We said goodbye and my tears aren't drying
And you still wonder why there's no walk down the aisle
Or why you never meet my child
And why the best I can do is not to be like you
Yeah, we said goodbye, 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

[Bridge]
Are you sorry for the screaming?
The ruined birthday evenings?
The promises you broke by coming and leaving?
Or are you praying on my demons?
Toying with my feelings?
Saying what I want you to say

[Chorus]
We said goodbye and my tears aren't drying
And you still wonder why there's no walk down the aisle
Or why you never meet my child
And why the best I can do is not to be like you
Yeah, we said goodbye, 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

[Outro]
Yeah, the best I can do is not to be like you
