Lyrics
Best Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This would be the sound of me
Looking for some kind of closure
You so sad, you just lost
The best thing you never had
All those dreams I believed
I woke up and it's over
You so sad, you just lost
The best thing you never had
As you leave, as you go
There are some things you need to know
How I tried to love you every way
I could, but I was denied
Walked away, never called
All I wanted was to be with you
Wasn't enough, ain't that tough
Guess that's the way it was meant to be
You should save your explanations
(You'll find someone else)
While I change my expectations
(And stay here by myself)
This would be the sound of me
Looking for some kind of closure
You so sad, you just lost
The best thing you never had
