Never Had

[Verse One]
I've been gone for.. so long now
Chasing everything that's new..
I've forgotten how I got here
I've not forgotten you..
We were just children, with our eyes opened, and
You were all that I could see
You came close enough to know my heart-beat, but
Still not close enough for me..

[Chorus]
Through the good times and the bad
You were the best I never had
The only chance I wish I had to take
There was no writing on the wall
No warning signs to follow
I know now, and I just can't forget
You're the best I never had..

(na-na-na)

[Verse two]
In this motel
Well pass midnight
When I'm bluer than a bruise..
You come drifting in, through the half-light
In your funny yellow shoes..
I hope that's you standing, at my doorway;
That's the scratching of your key
And I hope this song I'm singing
Someday finds you
My letter to Elise..

[Chorus]
Through the good times and the bad
You were the best I never had
The only chance I wish I had to take..
There was no writing on the wall
No warning signs to follow
I know now and I just can't forget
You're the best I never had

(Nana-Nanana)
Best I never had
(Nana-Nanana)
Best I never had..Mmmm
