She Got The Best of Me | Original Country Song

[Verse 1] Seventeen, you don’t stop to think it through You just burn bright and call it truth Like spark plugs spittin’ into flame Feels untouchable when you’re standin’ in it So I dove headfirst, no parachute Thought fallin’ hard was what you’re supposed to do Gave her everything I had Didn’t know what I’d never get back [Pre-Chorus] I wasn’t scared of losin’ control Didn’t know love could take that toll [Chorus] She took the best of me Left the rest in scars Now all that’s still beatin’ Is six strings and a broken heart Every night, a different town Her shadow’s still hangin’ around So if you’re hearin’ me You’re hearin’ what’s left of me Yeah, she took the best of me [Verse 2] I scraped myself up off that floor Found somethin’ worth hurtin’ for In a beat-up case with rusted locks And a couple chords that wouldn’t stop Every verse pulls me a little further From her name, from the way it hurt her I ain’t healed, but I’m movin’ on One damn song at a time [Pre-Chorus] I don’t drink her memory gone I sing it loud and let it run [Chorus] She took the best of me Left the rest in scars Now all that’s still beatin’ Is six strings and a broken heart Every night, a different town Her ghost still follows me around So if you’re hearin’ me You’re hearin’ what’s left of me Yeah, she took the best of me [Bridge] If you’ve ever loved somethin’ reckless You know it don’t leave you whole Sometimes the only way to survive it Is to turn the pain into a song [Final Chorus] She took the best of me Broke me down to parts But I found a second chance In a melody and dark bar lights Every crowd sings it back to me Like maybe I ain’t as lost as I used to be So take what’s left of me Hell, this is what’s left of me Yeah… she took the best of me [Outro] Yeah… She took the best of me
