Never Had

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
