Lyrics

Best I 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 knew you once

You never knew me then

Afraid to ever say, I wanted to be

friends

And now the years have passed, you're far away

And suddenly I feel I'm not the same

The walls are breaking down

I think I'm cracking up

I look around

Now everything's too much

And the world is spinning much too fast

Well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last

The world is slipping from my grasp

I'm looking round to find, the girl

I left behind

You were the best I never had

Remember when I saw you in the hall

You passed right by my stare, not noticing at all

And if I'd had the guts, I'd catch your glance

But I am just the boy without a chance

The walls are breaking down

I think I'm cracking up

I look around

Now everything's too much

And the world is spinning much too fast

Well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last

The world is slipping from my grasp

I'm looking round to find, the girl I left behind

You were the best I never had.
