best i never had

The Downtown Fiction

I knew you once
You never knew me then
Afraid to ever say, I wanted to be
friends
And now the years have passed, you're far away
And suddenly I feel I'm not the same

The walls are breaking down
I think I'm cracking up
I look around
Now everything's too much

And the world is spinning much too fast
Well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last

The world is slipping from my grasp
I'm looking round to find, the girl
I left behind
You were the best I never had

Remember when I saw you in the hall
You passed right by my stare, not noticing at all
And if I'd had the guts, I'd catch your glance
But I am just the boy without a chance

The walls are breaking down
I think I'm cracking up
I look around
Now everything's too much

And the world is spinning much too fast
Well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last

The world is slipping from my grasp
I'm looking round to find, the girl I left behind
You were the best I never had.
