[Verse 1] I kept every promise in a shoebox Under the bed where the old dust lives Told you I was fine with a split lip Told myself that was what strong meant Now the ceiling fan counts my failures One by one, it never gets tired I put my hands around the same old answer And watch it fall through every time [Pre-Chorus] If I go quiet, don't call it peace There's a war underneath my teeth [Chorus] I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH I GAVE YOU THE PARTS I HAD LEFT I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH I GAVE YOU THE PARTS I HAD LEFT NOW I'M BLEEDING THROUGH THE CUT I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST [Verse 2] Your jacket's hanging by the doorway Sleeve turned inside out like a flag I hear your footsteps in the plumbing Every pipe brings the whole night back My phone lights up, I let it die there Three missed calls and a battery low I wanted one clean way to leave you But every road knew where I'd go [Pre-Chorus] If I look calm, don't call it healed There's a knife in the way I feel [Chorus] I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH I GAVE YOU THE PARTS I HAD LEFT NOW I'M BLEEDING THROUGH THE CUT I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH I GAVE YOU THE PARTS I HAD LEFT NOW I'M BLEEDING THROUGH THE CUT I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST [Bridge] Maybe I was built for the damage Maybe the damage learned my face I keep dragging this heart through the basement Just to prove it can still take the weight No more clean apologies No more pretending I can stand If this is all I have inside me Take it—take it—take my hands [Final Chorus] I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH I GAVE YOU THE PARTS I HAD LEFT NOW I'M BLEEDING THROUGH THE CUT I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH I GAVE YOU THE PARTS I HAD LEFT NOW I'M BLEEDING THROUGH THE CUT I TRIED MY BEST—BEST—BEST
