GThe day I knew that my love couldn’t hold Cyou
I Gtook your hand and walked you to the D7door
I Glooked into your eyes and kissed it all goodCbye
Knowing Gnothing could D7ever hurt me Gmore
When the best thing you got going is Cleaving
It Gfeels like nothing worse could come D7along
But Gyou never really see how Cbad goodbye can be
Till the Gbest thing you D7got going is Ggone
The worst day we ever had toCgether
Was Gbetter than the best I spent D7alone
I Gnever knew the cost of losing till I Clost
Till the Gone thing D7I had right went Gwrong
When the best thing you got going is Cleaving
It Gfeels like nothing worse could come D7along
But Gyou never really see how Cbad goodbye can be
Till the Gbest thing you D7got going is Ggone
No you never really see how Cbad goodbye can be
Till the Gbest thing you D7got going is Ggone
