Best of me Quote by Brantley Gilbert
“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. How can love like that just up and walk away... It's killing me baby,It's got me pouring up another drink..Bourbon's hitting me hard like a frieght train With my back up against the wall or on my knees…... Yeah baby your the best of me”
