I've been gone for so long now
Chasing everything thats new
I've forgotten how I got here
I have not forgotten you
We were just children but 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
But there was no writing on the wall
No warning signs to follow
I know now and I just can't forget, Youre the best I never had
(Repeat Intro x 1)
In this motel
Well passed midnight
When Im bluer than a bruise
You come drifting in through the half light
In your funny yellow shoes
And I hope thats you standing at my doorway
Thats the scratching of your key
And I hope this song Im singing, someday finds you
My letter to Elise
Through the good times and the bad
You were the best I never had
The only chance I wish I had to take
But there was no writing on the wall
No warning signs to follow
I know now and I just can't forget, Youre the best I never had
Nana nanana
Best I never had
Nana Nanana mmm
Best I never had
Nana Nanana
