I've been gone for so long now
Chasing everything that's new
I have forgotten how I got here
I have not forgotten you
We're just children with our eyes opening
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

Na na na

In this motel
Will 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 scratchin of your key
And I hope this song I'm singing
Someday finds you
My letter to leave

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
Na na na na na
Best I never had
Na na Na na na mmmm
Best I never had
Na na Na na na
