[Verse 1]
Goodbye's the only thing I ever knew how to say
Always had a heart that never knew how to stay
Leavin' never felt like I was runnin' away
As long as I found someone else

[Verse 2]
Late at night was everything that I understood
Missin' you would always end up feelin' so good
Comin' back, it never made me do what I should
I just sit and blame myself

[Chorus]
Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad?
I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had
I've been around this town, rodе both sides of the tracks
And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back
I just wanted you to know, you'rе the best I never had

[Verse 3]
You were always just a little out of my league
I guess that I was wilder than you wanted to be
I tried to hide the devil that was hidin' in me
But you saw right through it all

[Chorus]
Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad?
I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had
And I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks
And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back
I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had
[Bridge]
Never had your heart
Never had your love
And I never had a chance to tell you

[Chorus]
Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad?
I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had
I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks
And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back
I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had
