Lyrics Best Thing - Nadia Reid

Why did you cut down
That tree in your front yard?
I had watched it grow
For many years since I was a girl

And it seemed to shake
My gravity just a little
It feels like the paint is peeling on my heart

When are we making it out to that island?
You never took me anywhere when I was yours
And I am all alone in Italy now
And I could break it but I wouldn't, no I would

You are the best thing
That I have ever had

Tried to make it to the carnival
Tried to bake it into a pie
While you were up there with all the mess
I was getting high

I see you out there in the corner
You are wanting something more
For your life, and for my life
You are the best thing
That I have ever had

I broke my leg
On that hill I remember it so
We were looking for a rose
Looking for something closer

To the edge of all that I am
You are wanting something more
For your life, and for our life

You are the best thing
That I have ever had
And no one could ever know
That I am better off from being your one
