The Best I Ever Had
[Verse 1]
If you can turn your back and walk out
On all that we’ve had
And forget the times together
Both the good and bad
If you believe the words you’re telling me
Then honey I’m not sad
Cause the worst you ever gave me
Was the best I ever had
[Verse 2]
You were always the one who cried
When there were tears to be shed
There was so many times you left me
Just wishing I was dead
But you could always make me smile
Even though times were bad
And the worst you ever gave me
Was the best I’d ever had
[Bridge]
So you wouldn’t have to leave thinkin’ I was mad
And the worst you ever gave me
Was the best I ever had
[Chorus]
I suppose I ought to break down and beg you to stay
And plead with your reason
Don’t you leave me this way
But I never used to have to
Make you wanna go
So just leave me with my memories
With how it was before
[Outro]
When never used to have enough
Hours in the day
And we never had to search for
Things that we could say
So I wouldn’t have been believing that I was mad
The worst you ever gave me
Was the best I ever had
Yes, the worst you ever gave me honey
Was the best I ever had
