Lyrics
I've tried to break the habit But somehow I just keep waking up alone There's something deep inside me That refuses to believe you're really gone And every night I fall asleep By your side of this great big double bed Remembering that the worst you ever gave me Was the best I ever had I know I should be sleeping Like a kitten in somebody else's arms But I lie awake remembering all the ways We used to keep each other warm I know that nothing's perfect but we came so close How could it turned out bad? But even so the worst you ever gave me Was the best I ever had How I missed your tender kisses And the gentle arms that used to hold me tight Oh they say that all good things must end But endings always leave somebody sad But I remember that the worst you ever gave me Was the best I ever had I can't forget the worst you ever gave me Was the best I ever had
