The Unlikely Candidates – Best I Ever Had lyrics

[Verse 1]
An honest life, some peace at night
No need to hide, a mind that's right
These are all the things that I would've had if I never met you
A heart to beat, some blood to heat
These are all the things that I would've had

[Chorus]
You were my highest high, you were my lowest low
You were the downtown where I would walk alone
You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had
You were my golden days, you were my endless nights
You almost broke me down so now I'm saying goodbye
You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had

[Verse 2]
I was eighteen with darker dreams
I felt your jeans and dopamine
You were dangerous but you killed the pain I had before I met you
You pulled me out, out of my doubts
But you lit a little fire in my mind each day

[Chorus]
You were my highest high, you were my lowest low
You were the downtown where I would walk alone
You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had
You were my golden days, you were my endless nights
You almost broke me down so now I'm saying goodbye
You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had

[Bridge]
You leave me for dead
Then kiss my lips and give me your breath
I leave you for a week
The world's bitter and you taste so sweet
I needed the joy that came from the pain you stole, you stole
I won't die for you
So I live alone

[Chorus]
You were my highest high, you were my lowest low
You were the downtown where I would walk alone
You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had
You were my golden days, you were my endless nights
You almost broke me down so now I'm saying goodbye
You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had
