Brantley Gilbert - The Best Of Me Lyrics

I found a box of memories, read a letter
Dropped a tear where you signed your name
And turning the page
Smearing the ink in the "Love Always"

Girl, I always start this way
And then I end up in a bottle
Screaming out your name and punching the walls
Carrying on like I've gone insane

And in the mirror I can see the man
Who just shook his head with no remorse
Watching an angel cryin tears
Stepping over my beers as you walked out the door

And there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
Killing me, babe

It's got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

Well, I remember it all too well
Riding 441 down to Milledgeville
Crossing the bridge
As the sun set on Lake Sinclair

I couldn't wait to see you smile
But all I saw were tears in your pretty eyes
And that said it all
It was all downhill from there

And I remember you saying
"Baby, please don't give up on me"
Oh but baby this stubborn man
Is gonna lie in the bed he made

'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
It's killing me, babe

It's got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best, the best of me

Baby, there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
You're killing me, babe

Got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the worst to your memory gets the best, the best of me
