Best Thing You Never Had Lyrics

Hello, how you doing?
What's it like to ruin all my self-esteem?
Let me blow off some steam
For five years I waited, so why am I jaded to get back at you?
What it makes it cool

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought they're the only one that mattered
I hope that you're flattered
'Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had

And it seems like a loss
Somehow my heart got lost on the way to my head
And my brain cells are dead
And the craziness shows
Now I start to go when the green turns to red
And I should be dead

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought they're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered
Like romantic roadkill, my heart is all splattered
And your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
'Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had

Like the toilet seat never got lifted
And I pissed on your confidence when you weren't around
How can that be?
Don't turn this around
You were the one who drove my ass right to the ground

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought they're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered
Like romantic roadkill, my heart is all splattered
And your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
'Cause you broke this down
You broke this down
The best thing
The best thing
The best thing that you never had
You never had

OMG! i can't believe there isn't any comments on this fab song. Well this song as u can tell is awesome. The first time i heard Butch Walker was when he was the opening act for Avril Lavigne and when he started playin, me and my friend knew that he was awesome (and hott!! LoL)

Avril Lavigne is crap. I don't know why anyone would want to go to a concert of hers.

But, I digress. Butch Walker is the man.

Butch Walker is amazing, and i think this song is about him being rejected by a girl along time ago and now its coming back to haunt her. The first is my favorite.

Yeh, you don't even need to try and translate this song because its so 'effing good. I can't believe only 6 people before me have posted on this.

yea this song is just ace. i think its basically about someone realizing that someone really F-ed up something and realizing that it was the best they over had.

I can relate, i would love to tell this girl the same thing Butch is saying. Butch Rocks...Hell yea. ooohh ya, he is awesome in concert.
