Best of Me
My world has spun his tangled web
And trapped his precious prey
He sucked the blood straight from my veins
And swore he'd set me free

I died a little piece today
And fell beneath myself
I shattered dreams against my fears
And shrank the best of me

I only see his blackened night
Which stifled children's silent screams
My sun has not a bright horizon
To rise above for all to see

I died a little piece today
And fell beneath myself
I shattered dreams against my fears
And shrank the best of me
I die a little more each day
Never stand up for myself
I should have run and disappeared
And shrank the best of me

Swallowed up inside his soul
His heart gives birth to mine
My tears define the life I'll lead
And drown the girl I hoped to be

I died a little piece today
And fell beneath myself
I shattered dreams against my fears
And shrank the best of me
I die a little more each day
Never stand up for myself
I should have run and disappeared
Been a bitch and been sincere
But I didn't leave I stayed right here
And shrank the best of me
