The Best That You Can Do
 

Your eyes shine bright behind the curtain A veil of hair that twists just like a ribbon Your mind runs faster than an engine How do you deal with life

You walk so fast I couldn't keep up Your bronzing skin is mesmerizing silk You clothes are brand name Bauer knock-offs You hide so well go hide yourself

Keeping up with the latest trends and fallacies You look so good What comes next in your day of feeling overwhelmed Just turn the page and fly

I want to see you there Keep your secrets to yourself Tell me how to follow Is that the best you can do

When your maxed out who are you going to turn to To help you decide what's new Guilty pleasures they will never rescue you from upkeep on this promise you made

You talk so fast I couldn't keep up The lies you told they wouldn't even add up You're flesh and blood and everything you want to be You hide so well

Play your game Fool your heart Tell yourself it's not a part you want to play And you'll just say open up and scream

I want to see you there Keep your secrets to yourself Tell me how to follow Is that the best you can do

I want to see you there Keep your secrets to yourself Tell me how to follow Is that the best you can do
