Song Lyrics

I don't want to talk about it
'Cause it means I'm thinkin of you
I don't want to think it over
'Cause it means I'm thinkin it's true
I try to catch the falling pieces
But you're always in the way
I try to be the voice of reason
But I don't know what to say (no)

I can't see you for him
There's no doubt, all my friends say

You were the best thing I ever had
You were the best thing that happened to me
You were the best thing I ever had baby baby baby

Well I wake up with this lonely feeling
Can't save me from being alone
I can't shake this lonely feeling, it's the worst I've ever known (ever known)

I can't see you for him
There's no doubt, all my friends say

You were the best thing I ever had
You were the best thing that happened to me
You were the best thing I ever had baby, baby, baby, baby!

Well I tried to let you go
And it's time to let you go (let you go)

Wake up with this lonely feeling
Can't save me from being alone
I can't shake this lonely feeling, it's the worst I've ever known

I can't see you for him
There's no doubt, all my friends say

You were the best thing I ever had
You were the best thing that happened to me
You were the best thing I ever had baby, baby, baby, baby!

Baby, baby, baby
I said baby, baby I can't do this
Baby, baby I can't feel this
Baby, baby I can't leave this
I can't leave this, I can't give it all away
