Summer of 2012. The part where it all started.
I've been gone for so long now,
Chasing everything that's new,
I have forgotten how I got here,
I have never 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.
In this motel,
Will pass midnight,
When i'm bluer than a bruise,
And you come drifting through the half light,
In your funny black shoes,
And I hope that's you standing at my doorway,
That's the scratching of your key,
And I hope this thing i'm writing,
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,
The was no writing on the wall,
No warning signs to follow,
I know now and I just can't forget,
You're the best thing I never had,
The best I never had.
