The Best Thing I Never Had

by whitdrew22

Yeah, I was the girl of his dreams, But you’re the man of mine, And I thought love was bullshit, But now I think we’d turn out fine. There are tears on my keyboard, And that’s how I know it’s bad, But with you my heart beats stronger, And you’re the best thing I’ve never had. And I don’t like your new girl Because she isn’t me, But I broke your heart first, Yeah, that much I can see. And your words they just kill me, I’m bent out of shape this time, You are the greatest guy, And I just want to call you mine. I hate that you like her, And I hope that she’s perfect, And I hope that she loves you Because goddamn you’re worth it. My heart feels heavy, And it’s my own damn problem, And I’m trying to cope but, I just can’t seem to solve them. I guess that I should be honest, But it’s a thing I just can’t bear I can’t ruin your joy My God, I would not dare. But it’s killing me softly, So painfully slow, I hope that she’ll love you, I just need to know. I’m being so selfish, Because my heart went crazy. I didn’t love these boys, My vision’s just hazy. It’s my own damn fault, and, I hope you know I know That I’m wrecked on the insides Because of how this could go. And I hate that you like her, But I hope that you’re happy, And I hope that she loves you But I'm sad that it's not me. And these boys meant nothing, And I need you to know, That part of me is still hoping Because I know how this can go. But I can’t be selfish, And I can’t get mad But to tell you the truth, You’re the best thing I never had.
