best i ever had

so you sailed away
into a grey sky morning
now i'm here to stay
love can be so boring

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

send it in a letter
make yourself feel better

but it's not so bad
you're only the best i ever had
you don't need me back
you're just the best i ever had

and it may take some time to
patch me up inside
but i can't take it so i
run away and hide
and i may find in time that
you were always right
you're always right

so you sailed away
into a grey sky morning
now i'm here to stay
love can be so boring

what was it you wanted
could it be i'm haunted

but it's not so bad
you're only the best i ever had
i don't want you back
you're just the best i ever had
the best i ever had
the best i ever

everything you want

somewhere there's speaking
it's already coming in
oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
you never could get it
unless you were fed it
now you're here and you don't know why

but under skinned knees and the skid marks
past the places where you used to learn
you howl and listen
listen and wait for the
echoes of angels who won't return

he's everything you want
he's everything you need
he's everything inside of you
that you wish you could be
he says all the right things
at exactly the right time
but he means nothing to you
and you don't know why

you're waiting for someone
to put you together
you're waiting for someone to push you away
there's always another wound to discover
there's always something more you wish he'd say

but you'll just sit tight
and watch it unwind
it's only what you're asking for
and you'll be just fine
with all of your time
it's only what you're waiting for

out of the island
into the highway
past the places where you might have turned
you never did notice
but you still hide away
the anger of angels who won't return

i am everything you want
i am everything you need
i am everything inside of you
that you wish you could be
i say all the right things
at exactly the right time
but i mean nothing to you and i don't know why
and i don't know why
why
why
i don't know

you're a god

i've got to be honest
i think you know
i'm covered in lies and that's okay
there's somewhere beyond this i know
but i hope i can find the words to say

never again, no
no never again

'cause you're a god
and i am not
and i just thought
that you would know
you're a god
and i am not
and i just thought
i'd let you go

but i've been unable
to put you down
i'm still learning things i ought to know by now
it's under the table so
i need something more to show somehow

never again no
no never again

you're a god
and i am not
and i just thought
that you would know
you're a god
and i am not
and i just thought
i'd let you go

i've got to be honest
i think you know
i'm covered in lies and that's okay
there's somewhere beyond this i know
i hope i can find the words to say
never again no
no never again

you're a god
and i am not
and i just thought
that you would know
you're a god
and i am not
and i just thought
i'd let you go
