Best I Ever Had Lyrics

The lyrics of “Best I’ve Ever Had” from the Gary Allan album Tough All Over always inspire fans’ emotions & memories.

Best I Ever Had Lyrics:
So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
And nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now.

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

So you stole my world, now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl leaves me down and lonely
Well send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better.

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don’t want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

And it might take some time to patch me up inside
but I can’t take it so I, I run away and hide
And I might find in time that you were always right
You're always right.

So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now, I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
Was it what you wanted?
Could it be I'm haunted?

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don’t want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

You're just the best I ever had
