Lyrics
The Worst In Me
you say you love me, you say we?ll make it
well, can you love this?
can you take it?
why do I save the worst in me
the worst in me for you?
when you deserve the rest of me
the best of me, you do
I treat our waitress like an honored guest
the check-out girl receives my deep respect
they think you?ve found the man of every woman?s dreams
but there are sides to me only you?re allowed to see
why do I save the worst in me
the worst in me for you?
when you deserve the rest of me
the best of me, you do
I let you see the pain I hide so well
from everyone
but when you try to help me
I just prove it can?t be done
they say we hurt the ones we love, I know it?s true
?cause I have loved you ?til your heart is black and blue?
you say you love me, you say we?ll make it
well, can you love this?
can you fake it?
why do I save the worst in me
the worst in me for you?
when you deserve the rest of me
the best of me, you do
why do I save the worst in me
the hurts in me for you?
when you deserve the best in me
after all that we?ve been through?
