Best Thing I Never Had
Megan & Liz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around...
There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So baby good lookin' out
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had
I bet it sucks to be you right now
So sad, you're hurt
Boo hoo, oh, did you expect me to care?
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there
When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and baby yes I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
Baby good lookin' out
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
I said, you turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'll never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby I bet sucks to be you right now
I know you want me back
It's time to face the facts
That I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place, another time, another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I will always be the, best thing you never had
Best thing you never had!
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh I will never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
The lyrics of Megan & Liz's song "Best Thing I Never Had" depict a post-breakup scenario where the singer is well over her former lover, who she now sees for who he really is. Her ex-boyfriend, who she previously thought did no wrong, showed his true colors, and she is glad that she didn't end up with him. The repetition of the phrase "What goes around comes back around" emphasizes karma and creates a sense of closure for the singer who has moved on from the relationship. She acknowledges that her ex-boyfriend might regret his actions and wish to have her back, but she knows that she has already escaped the toxicity of that relationship and that he missed out on being with her.
The song's strong and sassy message of moving on and knowing one's worth has resonated with many listeners. The emphasis on karma and the idea that what goes around comes back around has also been praised for its empowering nature. The use of phrases like "Thank God I dodged the bullet" and "Bet it sucks to be you right now" drives the message home in a relatable way.
Overall, "Best Thing I Never Had" is an inspiring anthem for anyone who has had to let go of a toxic relationship but has come out stronger from it.

What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
The consequences of one's actions will eventually catch up to them.
There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
Boy I, must've been outta my mind
There was a point where I believed you to be perfect, but I was clearly delusional.
Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So baby good lookin' out
I'm grateful you messed up, as it allowed me to see who you really are and move on.
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had
I bet it sucks to be you right now
I used to want you badly, but now I see that not being with you is actually the best thing that could have happened to me. And you'll always regret losing me.
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there
When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and baby yes I saw the real you
You're not even worth my tears, and when I almost loved you, you revealed your true self in a negative way.
I know you want me back
It's time to face the facts
That I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place, another time, another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye
You're regretting losing me now, but it's too late. I've moved on, and it would take a completely different world for me to ever reconsider.
Oh you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh I will never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now
You might have thought I was the one that got away, but in reality, you're the one that lost someone amazing. And I know it hurts you.
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
You're suffering the consequences of your actions, and while it might feel good to me in the moment, it's not a pleasant experience for you.

Maybe we shouldn't compare them. They are a duo, they sound incredible as solo singers, but together they have one of the best sounds ever!! ♥

Always my favorite version and one of the first songs that truly made me a fan! When you take something original and make it better that says something. Love you girls!

Every time I notice you girls have uploaded a new video, I listen to it, normally having not heard the song before. You girls make me want to hear the true version... but I always like your covers better than the originals. You girls have serious talent, and if I was able to be as talented as you guys someday, I would be the happiest girl alive. :)
Ariel Lewis
They have such different voices than Beyonce and yet they still make it sound amazing. Love you girls!
