Best Thing You Never Had by Butch Walker

Aside from being a heart-on-sleeves lyrics, I just love the instrumentation for this song. Leave it to Butch Walker to write such classics. I always almost cry whenever I hear this song. I can really relate to the frustration.


Hello how you doing?
What's it like to ruin
All my self esteem
, let me blow off some steam
For 5 years I've waited,
So why am I jaded
To get back at you

What makes it cool

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had

And it seems like a loss somehow
My heart got lost on
The weight of my head

And my brain cells are dead
And the craziness shows
Now I start to go when
The green turns to red

And I should be dead

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought they're
the only one that mattered

While my heart got shattered
Like romantic roadkill

My heart is all splattered
Your ego got fatter

And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had

Like the toilet seat never got lifted
And I pissed on your confidence
When you weren't around,
how can that be?

Don't turn this around
You were the one
Who drove my ass right to the ground

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad,
And I can't like

Someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered
Like romantic roadkill

My heart is all splattered
Your ego got fatter

And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
You broke this down

The best thing, the best thing,
The best thing that you never had
You never had...
