lyrics

The Best Thing
(Music and Lyrics, Patrick Burke)

I think about you every time it rains
and all the roads that lead up to your name
the tether is invisible but then...

I miss you when I'm playing my guitar
I miss you and I don't get very far
I miss you and I don't know what to do
About you

I know that you're gone
and I know that I'll go on
If this darkness has a dawn

I miss you when I'm looking at your face
But a photograph could never take your place
It's the only thing that hangs upon my wall, That's all

You know I love you
I miss everything you do
and I learn as I go not to feel so low
I know that you're gone
And I know that I'll go on

You're the best thing I've got wrong
You're the best thing...
