Cover art for My Best lyrics by Vanessa Carlton

This song is about a broken up couple ("in these broken times" and "though it didn't work out") that is still in good terms with each other. Even though they're not lovers anymore ("though you're not mine"), they both are there for each other. "You always give me your best" and "I'll always give you my best" show that it is a mutual acceptance. Because of this great relationship they continue to have, she still seems to feel like they are together. ("It's like you never left")
