BEST PART OF US

I was counting
The good things about this city
The only good thing is you are not here

When you're around it
Makes it hard to be what I need to be
I was trying to breathe
I was dying to breathe

I was hoping I'd never
Have to write this song again
The kind of song that makes
You want to hang
Your head ached - head
And I was hoping
That I would never fall in love again
'cause that would be the end
Of everything (you're everything)

My parents fell in love
And all I got was life
And all I ever wanted
Was to not be alone
I've been wearing this new outfit called
"quit while you're ahead"
Your smiles the end
Your eyes are the end

I was hoping I would never
Have to write this song again
The kind of song
That makes you want to
Hang your head ached - head
And I was hoping
That I would never fall in love again
'cause that would be the end
Of everything (you're everything)

Just hang your head
Just close your eyes
Just hide your heart
Hide your heart
I believe that when I'm gone
My love will live in song
This is not where I wanted to be
I believe that when I'm gone
My love will live in song
This is not the life I wanted to live
I wanted to live
