You Never Heard the Best of Me
New Orleans funeral jazz

You Never Heard the Best of Me
New Orleans funeral jazz
Lyrics
Verse
I whispered truths to empty skies
Told the moon my secret lies
But you
You never caught the sound
I sang so soft
It drowned
It drowned
Prechorus
A voice in the cracks
A shadow’s plea
You never heard the best of me
Chorus
I was a ghost in my own time
A fading hum
A lost design
I screamed in silence
Begged unseen
You never heard the best of me
No
You never heard the best of me
Verse 2
My words fell like unlit stars
Scattered wide but never far
You searched for gold in hollow veins
But missed the fire in the rain
Prechorus
I left my song in every tree
You never heard the best of me
Chorus
I was a ghost in my own time
A fading hum
A lost design
I screamed in silence
Begged unseen
You never heard the best of me
No
You never heard the best of me
