The Best Thing

I can still hear your laughter alone in my room
Where the TV and papers tell of only old news
Now I sit at this table and stare at the floor
Hopin’ you’ll come back through the door

I’ve been hidin’ my feelin’s savin’ my tears
But I can’t stop runnin’ away from my fears
And I carry your picture around in my mind
How could you leave me behind

Oh you were the best thing in my life
But there were words that I could never find
To ease your troubled mind

If I could turn back the pages hold you in time
I’d be everything, you’d still be mine
Now my days are all empty, nights are so long
How could things go so wrong

I remember the places that we use to go
And all of the good times that we use to know
Are all over and gone now, it hurts me inside
Why did you run and hide

Oh you were the best thing in my life 
But there were words that I could never find
To ease your troubled mind 

Oh you were the best thing in my life 
But there were words that I could never find
To ease your troubled mind
