Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Male]
You slide in that corner booth
Coat still wet from the rain
Ring light catching on your finger
Like it’s winking at our shame
You laugh a little too quiet
Eyes saying what we can’t say
I stir sugar in my coffee
Trying to sweeten off the blame
[Verse 2 – Female]
You smell like her white laundry
Clean shirt
Guilty skin
Your phone face down on the table
Buzzing like a warning in the din
You ask if I’ve been sleeping
I lie and say I’m okay
But I only breathe on Thursdays
When we meet up halfway
[Chorus – Duet]
You’re the best part of my worst day
My hiding place in a hallway of hurt
We keep lying to the ones who share our last name
Just to tell the truth here and still get burned
If loving you is the wrong way
Why does the right way feel so gray
You’re the best part of my worst day
And the worst thing I can’t walk away
[Verse 3 – Male]
She packed my lunch this morning
Kissed my cheek
Said “drive safe”
I watched the toast pop from the toaster
Thought of your legs across my waist
There’s dinner set for six-thirty
There’s a story I’ll rehearse
About traffic
Meetings
Something
While my heart sings in reverse
[Verse 4 – Female]
He texts our weekend schedule
Kids’ names in a tidy row
I circle every open hour
Like a map to where I go
I’ll say the store was crowded
I’ll say the prices went up again
Never say I spent that extra hour
Tracing your face with my hands
[Chorus – Duet]
You’re the best part of my worst day
My hiding place in a hallway of hurt
We keep lying to the ones who share our last name
Just to tell the truth here and still get burned
If loving you is the wrong way
Why does the right way feel so gray
You’re the best part of my worst day
And the worst thing I can’t walk away
[Bridge – Baroque strings + vocals]
[soft male vocal]
Violin in the background
Plays what we can’t confess
Long notes
Long shadows
Falling over this mess
[soft female vocal]
If I met you first
Would it save us
Or just change all the names
We’d still be two people
Trying to outrun our own shame
[Chorus – Duet
[crescendo]]
You’re the best part of my worst day
My hiding place in a hallway of hurt
We keep lying to the ones who share our last name
Just to tell the truth here and still get burned
If loving you is the wrong way
Why does the right way feel so gray
You’re the best part of my worst day
And the worst thing I can’t walk away
[Outro – Duet
[low vocal register]]
[whispered
Together]
We count the minutes in this café
Spend them like they’re stolen pay
You’re the best part of my worst day
And tomorrow’s just one more to betray
