Best of Times

I gave you my heart, you tortured my soul
I gave you my hand, you crushed every bone
I told you my hopes, you darkened my dreams
You'd heighten my doubt, then make me believe

You're everything I wanted, nothing I need
You take me to heaven, send me to my knees
I'll walk out knowing I'm ahead of the game
Darlin' even the best of times ain't worth the pain

You freed my poor heart, then filled it with hurt
You'd coddle my conscience, then bath it in dirt
You tempted my senses, you taught me to love
You whispered forever with a poisonous tongue

Chance that I could soon regret
The choice that I have dared to touch
Oh baby when we're up we're up
But the down's just way too much
