So you sailed away 
Into a grey sky morning 
Now I'm here to stay 
Love can be so boring  
 
Nothing's quite the same now 
I just say your name now  
 
[Chorus] 
But it's not so bad 
You're only the best I ever had 
You don't want me back 
You're just the best I ever had  
 
So you stole my world 
Now I'm just a phony 
Remembering the girl 
Leaves me down and lonely  
 
Send it in a letter 
Make yourself feel better  
 
[Chorus] 
But it's not so bad 
You're only the best I ever had 
You don't need me back 
You're just the best I ever had  
 
And it may take some time to 
Patch me up inside 
But I can't take it so I 
Run away and hide 
And I may find in time that 
You were always right 
You're always right  
 
So you sailed away 
Into a grey sky morning 
Now I'm here to stay 
Love can be so boring  
 
What was it you wanted 
Could it be I'm haunted  
 
[Chorus] 
But it's not so bad 
You're only the best I ever had 
I don't want you back 
You're just the best I ever had 
The best I ever had 
The best I ever
