Best That I Was

(앨범: After All - 2019)

Darling, roll up my heart right into your sleeve
Like a tintype memory
We're all looking for someone to adore
These days, that don't mean me

Well, it all weren't for nothing, sure it meant something
Living lost in the make-believe
I'll leave you in the dark, out under them stars
Goodbye Los Angeles

Things we shouldn't say
After cigarettes and rosè
Just because
Just because

I'd hedge my bets
You'd just forget
All that was us
Was the best that I was

August in Austin and we both got lost in
Her version of revelry
Time on a whim was never my friend
Wishing I could just come clean

Wish it weren't so, sometimes you just know
When to take your leave
Rust turned to gold and I back to coal
For you, Los Angeles

Things we shouldn't say
After cigarettes and rosè
Just because
Just because

I'd hedge my bets
You'd just forget
All that was us
Was the best that I was

Silver lake skies
Make no reason why
Now I can't trust
All that was us
Was the best that I was
The best that I was
