Lyrics

Late at night, voice on the phone
Your memories and dreams won't leave you alone
Something that happened so long ago
You can't tell the truth, and you can't go back home

So you kept it a secret for so many years
Hidden in anger, shadowed in fear
People will question if what you're saying is true
If you listen to questions, they get the best of you

Chorus:
The best of you is what they never would notice
The best of you is what they never could own
 The best of you is what lays hidden deep in your heart
The best of you is all that I care to know

One little moment suspended in time
The blame's on others, the shame's in your mind
All of the silence they inflicted on you
If you're living in silence, they get the best of you 

So you studied each corner of your own little room
Every crack in the ceiling, every inch of the tomb
And some footsteps remind you, and the nightmare begins
If you're listening for footsteps then you're letting them win

And it's you who feels guilty for the things that they did
They put the world on your shoulders when you were a kid
And you changed all the stories like they wanted you to
If you follow their wishes, they get the best of you

The best of you is what they never would notice
The best of you is what they never could own
 The best of you is what lays hidden deep in your heart
The best of you is all that I care to know
