The Best You've Had - Andy Powell & Linda Roan

I'm so glad to have you back within these arms of mine I can finally close these eyes and get some rest Never once did I think of finding someone new 'Cause there's nothing better, once you've had the best You're the very thing they sing about in love songs And one mistake don't mean you've failed the test And as you lay beside me softly sleeping this I know There's nothing better, once you have the best Within your arms, I've had the best And I think the world should know I don't care what you've said or done I'll always love you so You've got more love in your little finger than all the rest And there's nothing better, once you've had the best No, there's nothing better, once you've had the best

Got so relieved that it was a rumor It wasn't anything serious She didn't make it quite to my level It wasn't right like it was for us Not that I don't want you to be happy And I guess I'm crossing the line But I know if it was up to me You'd be alone for the rest of your life I know it's cruel But as long as you haven't met someone new I'm still the best you've ever had 'Cause the second you fall for somebody new I'll be just someone in your past And I know it's not okay to feel this way I know it's hopelessly selfish but I just can't help it Though it's been years I just love the fact I'm still the best you've ever had Best you've ever had I'm not allowed to say these things about you When I was the one who ended us But honestly it feels good to know That you still can't replace me, mm But as long as you haven't met someone new I'm still the best you've ever had 'Cause the second you fall for somebody new I'll be just someone in your past And I know it's not okay to feel this way I know it's hopelessly selfish but I just can't help it Though it's been years I just love the fact I'm still the best you've ever had Best you've ever had Ah, oh-oh, ah, ah, oh-oh I'm still the best you've ever had Best you've ever had Ah, oh-oh, ah, ah, oh-oh I'm still the best you've ever had Best you've ever had Not that I don't want you to be happy But it's nice to feel like you're mine And I know if it was up to me You'd be alone for the rest of your life And I know it's cruel But as long as you haven't met someone new I'm still the best you've ever had (best you've ever had) 'Cause the second you fall for somebody new I'll be just someone in your past (best you've ever had) And I know it's not okay to feel this way I know it's hopelessly selfish but I just can't help it Though it's been years I just love the fact I'm still the best you've ever had Best you've ever had Ah, oh-oh, ah, ah, oh-oh I'm still the best you've ever had Best you've ever had Ah, oh-oh, ah, ah, oh-oh I'm still the best you've ever had Best you've ever had

Away, running away Still, I can't fight it And it's on you You know just when to show up uninvited Closing my eyes, waiting on you To come and bite it So come and bite, ah Coming to see me Without a warning Standing outside at 3 in the morning Calling my name You cannot blame me For trying to be cautious Now we're in too deep Can't fall asleep I know you know that I want this You know I want ya Haa When you call because you miss me but you won't say it When you're making things really fucking complicated Even when I don't know if we're gonna make it Even when I hate it You're the best I ever had You're still, you're still, you're still The best I ever had You're still, you're still, you're still The best I ever had And I know it's bad, yeah Even when I'm mad I'm still holding on to you Your hands around my heart, you're in control You're the only one I keep so close Cause no other love has ever felt right It never felt right, no Got you on my mind Got you on my mind and there's nowhere to go Trying to find a way I can let you go Breaking my heart, but I still beg for more Gripping onto my soul Cause you're the best I ever had You're still, you're still, you're still The best I ever had You're still, you're still, you're still The best I ever had And I know it's bad, yeah Even when I'm mad I'm still holding on to you When you call because you miss me but you won't say it When you're making things really fucking complicated Even when I don't know if we're gonna make it Even when I hate it

I know we've had our time in the sun Thanks for the memories but I'm done Don't want to talk about it no more We've got another step to explore Don't fret, you're not alone now Cause I'm scared too of going home In a casket in the back Of a car that's painted black It was gone in an instant Those days we'll never get it back You're stuck in a moment Don't leave it like that They were gone for a reason Those days, just leave them on the tracks Cause I've got a feeling Right now's the best you ever Best you ever had The best you ever had We skipped the same old classes Now we drink and we pay our taxes Don't you talk now like everything was better before Stuck in the past, just tell me you'll let it go Don't trip, you're not alone now Yeah I'm scared too of growing old But I don't wanna try to turn it back No It was gone in an instant Those days we'll never get it back You're stuck in a moment Don't leave it like that They were gone for a reason Those days, just leave them on the tracks Cause I've got a feeling Right now's the best you ever Best you ever had The best you ever had The best you ever had The best you ever had Ooh The best you ever had, oh The best you ever had Ever had It was gone in an instant Those days we'll never get it back You're stuck in a moment Don't leave it like that They were gone for a reason Those days, just leave them on the tracks Cause I've got a feeling Right now's the best you ever Best you ever had

Finally, got that promotion I worked hard to get One that came with a company car When they gave me the keys, they said "Son, you can bet, keep it up, and you'll really go far" But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone My good friends come around to hang out now and then And they joke, man you've sure got it hard With this house on the hill and a white picket fence And the grass sure is green in the yard But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone Well, I squandered my time trying to buy her everything Gave her all that I thought she deserved Now I know all the things that she wanted were free And I should have been home holdin' her But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone Is gone
