Lyric You re the Best I ve Never Had

At seventeen, in faded jeans
I was yours, and you were mine
Close enough to call it love
But, we never crossed the line.

After knowing you, love s been nothing new
I ve had it good, and I ve had it bad
But, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You re the best I never had.

A perfect start for virgin hearts
But, it ended all so fast
Old enough to have been the first
But, too young to make it last.

I never let it show, ah, I should ve let you know
I never wanted someone so bad
Lookin back, I ve learned, with every bridge I ve burned
You re the best I never had.

The flame is gone, but the fire burns on
Sometimes sweet, and sometimes sad
Girl, you ll always be a haunting mystery
You re the best I never had.

And, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You re the best I never had...
