Best I Never Had

The Downtown Fiction

I knew you once

You never knew me then

Afraid to ever say, I wanted to be friends

And now the years have passed, you're far away

And suddenly I feel I'm not the same

The walls are breaking down

I think I'm crackin' up

I look around

Now everything's too much

And the world is spinnin' much too fast

Well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last

The world is slippin' from my grasp

I'm looking 'round to find, the girl I left behind

You were the best I never had

Remember when

I saw you in the hall

You passed right by my stare, not noticing at all

And if I'd had the guts, I'd catch your glance

But I am just the boy without a chance

The walls are breaking down

I think I'm crackin' up

I look around

Now everything's too much

And the world is spinnin' much too fast

Well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last

The world is slippin' from my grasp

I'm looking 'round to find, the girl I left behind

You were the best I never had
