My Very Best

Give that girl my very best Though it never made the grade When it seems that it's just not enough to love Then love lie down And would you tell her Not to talk as if I died Though a tiny part just did And would you tell her I'm from a long line of survivors And I'll be swinging with the kids Keep your sympathy Don't need the healing to start You've gone Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart In the corner of the room In the room we used to love Of the love we should say this There were switches never flicked Long away and far apart That's how forest fires start Start again it felt like this Fresh and simple as a kiss I bounce these feelings off the moon The echoes don't come back Keep your sympathy Don't need the healing to start You've gone Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart --- My Very Best - Elbow
