The Best Thing I Ever Gave You

All the cheap jewelry I bought you, every bottle of perfume Do they still sit on the dresser on the right side of your room? Does the handbag from that Christmas still hang behind the door? Do you still keep all my letters somewhere in your bedside drawer? Well, judging by the photographs online The best thing I ever gave you was goodbye I keep waiting for the pictures of that new guy on one knee I'm so happy that you're happy, I bet you're happy he's not me I could have given you that ring, given you my only life The best thing I ever gave you was goodbye Every vacation together, those late nights in Monterey All my darkest secrets that make me who I am today The key to my front door and the password to my phone My word, I'd always be there, but I left you all alone Well, judging by the photographs online The best thing I ever gave you was goodbye And I can tell he's everything that I could never be I'm so happy that you're happy, I bet you're happy he's not me I could have given you that ring, given you my only life But the best thing I ever gave you was goodbye His hand around your waist, that sparkle in your eye He gives you a feeling that one day I hope to find While he's giving you the world and every star up in the sky The best thing I ever gave you was goodbye The best thing I ever gave you was goodbye
