THE LYRICS:-appears on Below The Velvet
You’re
the best thing that I never had
And I want you to know that
I put you off and off you go
And now…you’ll never know
I
never met you
That’s okay
Cause I felt like I knew you anyway
We never spoke baby
But that’s alright
Cause your jacket keeps me warm
Every day and every night
And
I feel how I feel without shame
Hold the pillow that I give your name
Never thought that a stranger could make me so
sad
The best thing that I…never had.
I
watched you dance
But my shy side came through
And I felt a little ill when I got close to you
Put you off baby…and off you go
I’m in love…I’m in love
Now you’ll never know
How
I can’t leave this craving behind
And I can’t get you off of my mind
You’re my match of instability
The best thing that never happened to me
And
if you came back I’d feel so stupid
Cause everyone would go up to you and be like
“Yea there’s this crazy fucked up boy
Who thinks he’s in love with you
He never even met you”
But I feel what I feel…yeah
And I say what I say…yeah
And I do what I do…yeah
Cause I feel what I feel…yeah
I want you to come back…yeah
Well
I’m not some messed up fool
With some problems in my head
Cause I could have someone else
I’d only wish it was you instead
And my friends all say it’s good
That you did not stay
Cause all the love in the world
Won’t take your track marks away
Oh
my bitter monogamy
To some stranger unaware of me
Would you fall in love with me too
Make an addiction out of me
Like I have of you
And no matter how long I will wait
Cause it’s never too late…
