verse
Every night, I'm lyin' in bed
Holding you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
verse
Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
verse
But every morning, I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way, and I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
hook
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darling, every night and day
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darling (oh, oh)
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darling (you get the best of my love)
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
outro
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darling (you got it, you got it)
You get the best of my love (the best of my love, oh)
