Vers. 1
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
And nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now
(Chorus)
But I'ts not so bad..
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
Vers. 2
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
We'll send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
(Chorus)
But I'ts not so bad..
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
Bridge
And it might take some time
To patch me up inside
But I cant take it so I
I run away and hide
I might find it in time
That you were always right
You were always right
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
Was it what you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted?
(Chorus)
But It's not so bad..
You're only the best I ever had
You dont want me back
You're just the best I ever had
You're just the best I ever had...
