The Best Way That I Knew

You've gone away/
And you don't really care/
You're a long way from where I stand.
Wishing on a star/
Right on up until it breaks/
Up until it just don't give a damn.

Desperation in a song/
Never gets you far/
Sitting all alone half past twelve.
I loved you/
In the best way that I knew/
But now hindsight looks like hell.

You took a chance/
And somehow made me smile/
We had a pretty while to shine.
And arrows never land/
Exactly where you think/
And you were the best thing that was mine.

And I hope/
All is well/
Me? You couldn't tell.
You see the stars/
From a different side/
But I still see them in your eyes.
When I close mine.

So there's desperation in a song/
And it never got me far/
Only a broken heart can tell.
Fighting air/
Screaming there/
Beeping machines sound like hell.
I loved you/
I the best way that I knew.

I did. I loved you in the best way that I knew. I just wish it were harder and longer. But we shined for a pretty little while didn't we? We shined...
