The best damn thing


You're the best damn thing and I'm the lucky one

Gave you a reason to walk out on me that night
And go looking for Mr. Right
Cause I sure look like Mr. Wrong
A deer in the headlights I stood there and lied
Made a ghost town of part of you
Sat there and cried while I shot down the heart of you
Couldn't decide if the end was the start of you
I shut my mouth and waited
In the mess that I created
Write your name in the sky for the world to see
Because you're the best damn thing that ever happened to me
We're still standing now you didn't cut and run, ooh
I was crying on the beach by the raging sea
Just a small town broken down refugee

Holier than thou, I caused the damage done
You're the best damn thing and I'm the lucky one

My mad season as vain as a bar room fight
Remote as a satellite
I was out of touch and out of timeToo long in the spotlight
So incomplete that I burned something beautiful
Out on the street I was walking delusional
Your body heat moves something immovable
I close my eyes and pray yeah, from the mess that I have made
Write your name in the sky for the world to see
Because you're the best damn thing that ever happened to me
We're still standing now you didn't cut and run
Ooh
I was crying on the beach by the raging sea
A broken down battle ground refugee

Holier than thou, I caused the damage done
You're the best damn thing and I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one

I know that it hurt and I'm sorry don't even cut it
A short pleated skirt and I jumped and I know I blew it
Threw me lifeline and I'm sticking like glue to it
Held my breath and waited
From the mess that I created
Going to write your name
Going to write your name
Going to write your name
Going to write your name
Going to write your name
Write your name in the sky for the world to see
Because you're the best damn thing that ever happened to me
We're still standing now you didn't cut and run
Ooh
I was crying on the beach by the raging sea
Just a small town broken down refugee
Holier than thou, I caused the damage done
You're the best damn thing and I'm the lucky one

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
