Best Damn Thing
Alexander Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause ur really not saying
Much of anything
On and on we play this game and
I'm just tryna make you happy
And I'm tired of second guessing
Everything we are
Hanging by a thread and I'm just
Swimming in emotion
Got me overdosing
I can't tell if you still feel the same
We're not the way we once were
Tell me is this over
I gotta know
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
You're the best damn thing that I've ever had
And I don't know what I'd do
If I'd ever lose you
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
But I can't do much if you're over it
So tell me what to do
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing that you've had too
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing that you've had too
I'm gonna tell you what I'm thinking
Cause I want you to know
Just where I'm coming from
On and on we stay the same when
we're not saying what we're feeling
Gotta fix all of the demons
That are haunting us
Tell me is this not what you want
Swimming in emotion
Got me overdosing
I can't tell if you still feel the same
We're not the way we once were
Tell me is this over
I gotta know
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
You're the best damn thing that I've ever had
And I don't know what I'd do
If I'd ever lose you
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
But I can't do much if you're over it
So tell me what to do
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing that you've had too
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing that you've had
So you can take it
Or you can leave it
Cause I can't do this anymore
Oh Oh Hey
So if you want it
Then you can have it
Maybe we can have it all
Ooh Baby
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
You're the best damn thing that I've ever had
And I don't know what I'd do
If I'd ever lose you
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
But I can't do much if you're over it
So tell me what to do
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
You're the best damn thing that I've ever had
And I don't know what I'd do
If I'd ever lose you
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
But I can't do much if you're over it
So tell me what to do
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing that you've had too
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing that you've had too
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing that you've had too

Would ya tell me what you're thinking
Please share your thoughts with me
Cause ur really not saying
Your silence is speaking louder than words
Much of anything
You're not expressing yourself clearly
On and on we play this game and
We keep repeating this cycle
I'm just tryna make you happy
I'm doing everything I can to please you
And I'm tired of second guessing
I'm exhausted from trying to figure things out
Everything we are
Our relationship is at stake
Hanging by a thread and I'm just
Our bond is weak and I'm struggling
Swimming in emotion
My feelings are overwhelming
Got me overdosing
I'm consumed by my emotions
I can't tell if you still feel the same
I'm not sure if your feelings are still intact
We're not the way we once were
Our relationship has changed
Tell me is this over
Please confirm if our relationship has ended
I gotta know
I need to find out the truth
Cause you're the best damn thing that I've ever had
You're the most important thing in my life
And I don't know what I'd do
I can't imagine a life without you
If I'd ever lose you
I don't want to lose you
But I can't do much if you're over it
I can't fix things if you've given up
So tell me what to do
Please guide me on how to fix things
Cause I wanna be the best damn thing that you've had too
I want to be the best partner for you
So you can take it
You have a choice
Or you can leave it
You can walk away
Cause I can't do this anymore
I can't continue living like this
Hey
Hey
So if you want it
If you want us to continue
Then you can have it
I'll give you what you want
Maybe we can have it all
We can have a healthy relationship
Ooh Baby
Ooh Baby
