Don't you know that you caused this brand new me?

You helped me become so much better than I used to be.

Maybe one day I just might find the strength to tell you,

And maybe it will make up for the words I couldn't say.

 

You are the best thing that I need right now,

You are the best thing that made me feel.

You are the best thing that I may never have,

And you could be my best thing if this is real.

 

I just want to tell you that I'm not proud of the person I once was,

But after that dance I took myself and I grew up.

There's some things I still wish that I could say to you,

But I'll probably just freeze up again.

Or maybe since I'm brand new I'll do it.

I've been through hardship,

And you helped me pull through it.

You may not the realize the impact that you've had on me,

And that's just the beauty in this tragedy.

 

You are the best thing that I need right now,

You are the best thing that made me feel.

You are the best thing that I may never have,

And you could be my best thing if this is real.

 

If it weren't for you I might not even be writing this.

I want you to know that you gave me a reason to make it.

The thing is that I can't get you to just leave my mind,

And that's the worst thing about the best thing that never will be.
