I've been gone for so long now 
Chasing everything that's new 
And I've forgotten how I got here 
But I've not forgotten you 
Wewere just children with 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 
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 

In this motel 
Well pass midnight 
When I'm bluer than a [bad word] 
And [bad word] 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 release 

Through the good times and the bad 
You were the best I never had 
The only chance I wish I had to take 
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 
Nana nanana 
Best I never had 
Nana Nanana mmmm 
Best I never had 
Nana Nanana
