The Best Love I Never Had

The best love I never had I think back to when we first met, my thoughts linger I don't know why, I remember everything we said that night... I wish... I couldn't remember I saw her standing there all alone I thought, this woman's gonna change my life when I approached her... then she started to cry I never understood what happened I wrapped her up in my youthful arms I listened carefully to all she said I said the words I thought would comfort her She ran away... thinking I didn't care Chorus The last words I said... keep on repeating I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, There was nothing I could say, to make her come back to me, and I still feel bad... she was the best love I never had I still feel bad... she was the best love I never had I heard that she married, maybe once or twice to someone who was just like me I'll never figure out, just what's inside her mind but, I know I have to let things be Chorus The last words I said... keep on repeating I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, There was nothing I could say, to make her come back to me, and I still feel bad... she was the best love I never had I still feel bad... she was the best love I never had Bridge I still cry, I still cry over the woman I hurt... the words still cut like a knife... I can't take them back now... cause once they've been said... the damage has already been done Chorus The last words I said... keep on repeating I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, There was nothing I could say, to make her come back to me, and I still feel bad... she was the best love I never had I still feel bad... she was the best love I never had I still feel bad... she was the best love I never had I still feel bad... she was the best love I never had John Derek Hamilton February 23,2018
