Never Had
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.
I've been gone for so long now
Chasing everything that’s new
I've forgotten how I got here
I have not forgotten you
We were just children but our eyes opened and
You were all that I could see
You came close enough to know my heart beat but
Still not close enough for me
Through the good times and the bad
You were the best I never had
The only chance I wish I had to take
But there was no writing on the wall
No warning signs to follow
I know now and I just can't forget
You’re the best I never had
Nanana mmmm
In this motel
Well passed midnight
When I’m bluer than a bruise
You come drifting in through the half light
In your funny yellow shoes
And I hope that’s you standing at my doorway
That’s the scratching of your key
And I hope this song I’m singing
Someday finds you
My letter to Elise
Through the good times and the bad
You were the best I never had
The only chance I wish I had to take
But there was no writing on the wall
No warning signs to follow
I know now and I just cant forget
You’re the best I never had
Nana nanana
Best I never had
Nana nanana mmm
Best I never had
Nana nanana
