Best Thing

You're ready to go

I fake a smile

All that's between us now is just 3,000 miles

I move closer to you, you cover your face

You tried for months to make me notice

That you'd rather stay



So why is it so hard to tell you that

I'm not leaving you here and I want you to know

That I'm so sorry that I hurt you

You are the best thing in my life



We kiss goodbye

We run out of time

I leave you standing there all alone with strangers in line

I walk out the door, then I run back inside

Your plane is taking off into thin air

But you stayed behind



I pull you in my arms and tell you that

I'm not leaving you here and I want you to know

That I'm so sorry I hurt you

You are the best thing in my life

Somehow I know we'll make it to the other side

We can work it out, you are the best thing in my life

I tried so, tried so, tried so hard to tell you that

I'd do anything



I'm not leaving you here and I want you to know

That I'm so sorry I hurt you

You are the best thing in my life

Somehow I know we'll make it to the other side

We can work it out, you are the best thing in my life



In my life, in my life

In my life, in my life
