Best Thing

Like a lion in her sleep
You woke something up in me
Something louder than a roar
I won't lay down anymore
Oh if you had only seen
What was hiding underneath
Would you cut me to the core
Taken all of me and more

Oh I hate to break your heart
Leave you down and seeing stars
But this is over
Take the flag down off the mast
Throw your pride out with the trash
It's time to say goodbye and just remember
I'm, the one thing you're not getting back
I'm, the best thing that you'll never have

Keep your reasons, keep your lies, take your shallow alibis
Might have played me for a fool
Now whose eyes are bleeding blue
Oh I hate to break your heart
Leave you down and seeing stars
But this is over
Take the flag down off the mast
Throw your pride out with the trash
It's time to say goodbye and just remember
I'm, the one thing you're not getting back
I'm, the best thing that you'll never have
