Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Separation song lyrics )
YOU WERE THE BEST
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

1: I hate to be speaking of us in the past tense
or in terms of what if? what happened? or what for?
But now the past seems to be all that can make sense
of just how it came to be we're
on diff'rent sides of this door.

2: This door could be seen to be merely symbolic
of a barrier set between us by ourselves.
Now, what could be possibly so idiotic
as to put a separation
between what had worked so well?

CHORUS:
You were the best. You couldn't have been better.
Could I?
You were the best. You couldn't have been better.
Could I?

3: On either side of this door, there's still a handle
that could easily be reopened either way.
What would it take to see us from diff'rent angles
or to give ourselves a new start
so diff'rent from yesterday?
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Doesn't matter if this door is made of solid steel
or a screen door or a storm door made of glass.
Once I slammed it shut behind me,
I'm the perfect heel
& you have now become the perfect ass.
CHORUS:

To other breakup love song lyrics:   BACKING UP
ON THE ROPES
YOUR LEAVING
MORNING LIGHT
HIDDEN CORNERS
GET THE FEELING
WISHFUL DRINKING
MAYBE WE'VE HURT
THAT'S GOTTA HURT
TALKING TO MYSELF
I SOLD MY WIFE ON eBAY
GOODBYE WAS ALL SHE WROTE
GUESS WHAT I FOUND 'NEATH THE DIRTY FRIDGE?
To the TOP
