Best Thing

Why did you cut down That tree in your front yard? I had watched it grow For many years since I was a girl And it seemed to shake My gravity just a little It feels like the paint is peeling on my heart When are we making it out to that island? You never took me anywhere when I was yours And I am all alone in Italy now And I could break it but I wouldn't, no I would You are the best thing That I have ever had Tried to make it to the carnival Tried to bake it into a pie While you were up there with all the mess I was getting high I see you out there in the corner You are wanting something more For your life, and for my life You are the best thing That I have ever had I broke my leg On that hill I remember it so We were looking for a rose Looking for something closer To the edge of all that I am You are wanting something more For your life, and for our life You are the best thing That I have ever had And no one could ever know That I am better off from being your one
