Didn’t we say that it was over
I remember feeling that we surely had
Still your looking over your sweet shoulder acting more than sad
thinking maybe it wasn’t all that bad
Maybe it’s the best you ever had
All it does now is make you sad
Either way our memories are here now
and we can grow from being more than sad
hard to shake the tragic fear of how
your love was something bad
I might have been the best you never had
Maybe it’s the best you ever had
and all it does now is make you sad
Doesn’t it make you feel like something
when nothing ever seems to go your way
acting on behalf of words that you sing
and don’t know how to say
Always hope you have your next best day
Maybe it’s the best you’ve ever had
and getting it better doesn’t make you sad
There was a point to this whole commotion
Let’s finally put this story off to bed
Bad enough to keep this rift in motion
just so you’re the best
to study so hard but skip the final test
Maybe it’s the best you ever had
and you know exactly why that makes you sad
