The Best I Ever Had

I still keep your picture in a drawer by the bed
With that worn-out flannel and the last words you said
I tried movin’ on, but the road just loops
Every turn I take still leads back to you

We had bonfire nights and old truck drives
Laughed ‘til we cried under Georgia skies
But I got scared, and I pushed too hard
Now I’m sittin’ here missin’ who we are

When I said to you, “I didn’t love you,” I didn’t mean it
Now this windowsill is all I see because I just sit
And think about all the times we had
The good and the bad
How’s your mom? How’s your dad? I think — and it still makes me sad
Because you were the best I ever had

Your name still shows up in my favorite songs
And I swear I feel you when the nights get long
You deserved truth, and I gave you pride
Now I drink to forget but remember all night

I pass by that diner we used to haunt
Same booth, same view, now it’s all just want
Your number’s still saved, but I never call
Guess I’m scared to know if you’ve moved on at all

When I said to you, “I didn’t love you,” I didn’t mean it
Now this windowsill is all I see because I just sit
And think about all the times we had
The good and the bad
How’s your mom? How’s your dad? I think — and it still makes me sad
Because you were the best I ever had


If I had one more chance, I’d hold you tight
Say everything wrong, but make it right
I’d never let go, never walk away
But I let you slip through anyway


When I said to you, “I didn’t love you,” I didn’t mean it
Now this windowsill is all I see because I just sit
And think about all the times we had
The good and the bad
How’s your mom? How’s your dad? I think — and it still makes me sad
Because you were the best I ever had
