Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)

Vertical Horizon · Everything You Want [1999]

So you sailed away

Into a grey sky morning

Now I'm here to stay

Love can be so boring



Nothing's quite the same now

I just say your name now



Chorus:

But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever had

You don't want me back

You're just the best I ever had



So you stole my world

Now I'm just a phony

Remembering the girl

Leaves me down and lonely



Send it in a letter

Make yourself feel better



Chorus:

But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever had

You don't need me back

You're just the best I ever had



And it may take some time to

Patch me up inside

But I can't take it so I



run away and hide

And I may find in time that

You were always right

You're always right



So you sailed away

Into a grey sky morning

Now I'm here to stay

Love can be so boring



What was it you wanted?

Could it be I'm haunted?



Chorus:

But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever had

I don't want you back

You're just the best I ever had



The best I ever had

Best I ever...
