The Best Thing You Ever Had

Possession is nine tenths of your soul and you've grown old You're living a lie that you somehow believe Your woman left you five lonely years ago And all you know is that the pain won't go And the more you try to let her go, the more she won't go And every time you hear her name it echoes in your soul Drown it with the bottle let it float back up tomorrow with the rain No point feeling oh so bad about the best thing you ever had now it's gone Everyone stares at you from afar as you prop up the bar They'll never know how it hurts inside You'll never know how they can feel so glad to be alive And the more you try to let her go, the more she won't go And every time you hear her name it echoes in your soul Drown it with the bottle let it float back up tomorrow with the rain No point feeling oh so bad about the best thing you ever had now it's gone No point feeling oh so bad, about the best thing you ever had now it's gone
