Best Years Lyrics

Been trying hard to think of something nice

About you just to paint you in a better light

Only time we talk is when we fight

You told me that I stole your best years

That's not something i'm supposed to hear

Like father, all your children turn to beer

I'm a thief

If I leave and that hit the reset

And the years that I stole

That could have been your best

Got returned to the time

That you first heard my scream

In my last heartbeat

I would give them to you

Would that make it alright

I don't have much to lose

You're a thief of all my best years

Wish I could've had less years

I would give back my life

You're a thief of all my best years

You're a thief of all my best years

Keeping men around wouldn't be so hard

Could've had the money

Could've made your mark

You never even told me what your real dreams are

You wouldn't have a kid stuck in rehab

My downward spiral, going mad

We've both dreamed about the life you could've had

And I don't wanna waste

All your weeks and your days

On the same shit that got you

Stuck here in this place

So if you want them back

God, I wish you'd just take em

Cause i'm wasting them anyways

I would give them to you

Would that make it alright

I don't have much to lose

You're a thief of all my best years

Wish I could've had less years

I would give back my life

You're a thief of all my best years, best years

You're a thief of all my best years

Wish I could've had less years

You're a thief of all my best years, best years

You're a thief of all my best years

Wish I could've had less years
