Grace Petrie - The Best Thing I Never Had lyrics

[Grace Petrie - The Best Thing I Never Had lyrics]

Shadow puppets on the wall
Wondering if I ever knew your
True face at all
And all I have is a box of broken memories
And all I have is an
Incomplete collection of CDs
And it's Emmy the Great and Fleetwood Mac
It's way too late for looking back at that
And Johnny Flynn and Bon Iver and all
The things we never really were

And even though I'll use
The wintertime to hide
I'll come out on the other side
And I grieve what never was alive
'Cause nothing ever hurt so bad
But, you're the best thing that
I've ever nearly had

And I was never any good
At keeping the hurt hidden


I asked you not to call but I
Was fucking gutted when you didn't
And it's Christy Moore and
It's Steve Earle and
Dancing to the Galway Girl all night
And it's Jimmy and Blink and
All the small things
Late at night a lover sings for what

And even though I'll use
The wintertime to hide
I'll come out on the other side
And I grieve what never lived or died
And the thing that really makes me sad
Is you're the best thing that
I never really had
Is you're the best thing that
I never really had
Is you're the best thing that
I've ever nearly had
