Lyrics

The Best Thing

I've been a rounder
But I played it so cool
Sometimes a hero
Mostly a fool
I've avoided the good
And embraced all the bad
You were the best thing
I never had

You were the best thing
I never had
A challenge unconquered
A dream that turned bad
In this life I've tasted
Things happy and sad
You were the best thing
I never had

Not sure where to go
All the good times are gone
Too old to change my direction
Left, right or wrong
Tell the world I went crazy
And that you drove me mad
`Cause you were the best thing
I never had
