​machineheart – Best Thing lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a lion in her sleep
You woke something up in me
Something louder than a roar
I won't lay down anymore
Oh if you had only seen
What was hiding underneath
Would you cut me to the core?
Taken all of me and more?

[Chorus]
Oh, I hate to break your heart
Leave you down and seeing stars
But this is over
Take the flag down off the mast
Throw your pride out with the trash
It's time to say goodbye and just remember

I, I'm the one thing you're not getting back
Oh, I, I'm, the best thing that you'll never have

[Verse 2]
Keep your reasons
Keep your lies
Take your shallow alibis
Might have played me for a fool
Now whose eyes are bleeding blue?

[Chorus]
Oh, I hate to break your heart
Leave you down and seeing stars
But this is over
Take the flag down off the mast
Throw your pride out with the trash
It's time to say goodbye and just remember

I, I'm the one thing you're not getting back
Oh, I, I'm, the best thing that you'll never have

Oh Oh Oh
I'm the best thing, best thing
Oh Oh Oh
I'm the best thing, best thing

[Chorus]
Oh, I hate to break your heart
Leave you down and seeing stars
But this is over, over
Take the flag down off the mast
Throw your pride out with the trash
It's time to say goodbye and just remember

[Chorus]
Oh, I hate to break your heart
Leave you down and seeing stars
But this is over
Take the flag down off the mast
Throw your pride out with the trash
It's time to say goodbye and just remember

I, I'm the one thing you're not getting back
Oh, I, I'm, the best thing that you'll never have
I, I'm the one thing you're not getting back
Oh, I, I'm, the best thing that you'll never have
