And all this life, some peace at night No need to hide, a mind that's right These are all the things that I would have had if I never met you A heart to beat, some blood to heat These are all the things that I would have had You were my highest high, you were my longest 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 then, so now I'm saying goodbye You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had I was eighteen, with darker dreams I felt your genes and dopamine You were dangerous but you killed the pain I had before I met you You pulled me out, out of my doubts Watched a little, little fire in my mind each day You were my highest high, you were my longest 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 then, so now I'm saying goodbye You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had You laid me for dead, then kissed my lips and gave me your breath I'd leave you for a week, the world's bitter and your taste is sweet I needed the joy that came from the pain you stole, you stole I won't die for you, so live on love You were my highest high, you were my longest 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 then, so now I'm saying goodbye You were the best I ever had, you were the best I ever had You were the best I ever had You were the best I ever had
