Watched my friend sneak out the party; 
she never stopped to look behind. 
It feels like she's been so far. 
Are we starting to unwind? 
Hopeless thinking at the bar, 
but I still had a sober mind. 
Of all the friends I've had so far, 
she was the best to have been mine. 

All the people I feel close to 
are closer to someone else. 
When they're who I want to talk to, 
they talk to someone else. 
So I sit and look out windows 
and watch them disappear, 
and I sit tight by closed doors 
hoping that they'll reappear. 
Don't think I'll ever be 
anyone's best thing. 

Driving home felt pretty empty. 
Dropped my heart out of the window. 
Missed the turning onto my street. 
Car in front is going so slow. 

Took the road to yours by mistake; 
it's not the first thing I did wrong. 
Despite all of the new breaks, 
you're still the place where I belong. 

But all the people I feel close to 
are closer to someone else. 
When they're who I want to talk to 
they talk to someone else. 
So I sit and look out windows 
and watch them disappear, 
and I sit tight by closed doors 
hoping that they'll reappear. 
Don't think I'll ever be 
anyone's best thing. 

Don't think I'll ever be 
anyone's best thing. 
And it stings, 
more than you'd know. 
I'll never be 
anyone's best thing. 

I know we know 
sometimes love 
just takes a swing. 
But it's okay, 
want you to know  
you're still 
the best. 

All the people I feel close to
are closer to someone else.
When they're who I need to turn to,
they have somebody else. 

All the people I feel close to 
are closer to someone else. 
When they're who I want to talk to, 
they talk to someone else. 
So I sit and look out windows 
and watch them disappear 
and I sit tight by closed doors 
hoping that they'll reappear. 
It's okay, I know I'll never be 
anyone's best thing. 

Never be, never be, never be 
anyone's best thing. 
But you were mine, still mine.  

Best thing.
