Lyrics
So you sailed away
Into a gray sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
And nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
We'll send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
But it's not so bad
(Not so bad)
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
(Don't want me back)
You're just the best I ever had
And it might take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
I run away and hide
And I might find in time
That you were always right
You're always right
So you sailed away
Into a gray sky morning
Now, I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
Was it what you wanted?
Could it be I'm haunted?
But it's not so bad
(Not so bad)
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
(Don't want me back)
You're just the best I ever had
You're just the best I ever had
