Backroom Stereo - The Best Damn Thing

The lights were dim and the room was filled with colour
As the smoke seeped out all the across the floor
You feel the people, and their bodies pressed against yours
Feeling more than you’ve felt in such a long time

And you saw his eyes
Glisten in the light
His lips cried out "come close to me"
The rest they say is history

The words pass your lips
It was just a kiss
You had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all away
He doesn’t care
Cos you were never there
You had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all away

You’re feeling empty
Like the bottle you had started on
It once was full but now it’s gone
It’s a metaphor for the numbness that you feel
Not a sense of guilt for the hurt you caused
But you want him back as you watch for the door

As you plan out your speech
Every word you will say
You play the conversation in your head
Every word to make it all okay, and now

The words pass your lips
It was just a kiss
You had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all away
He doesn’t care
Cos you were never there
You had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all away

And now you’re sad and all alone
Staring at your mobile phone
Wondering if you should pick it up and call him now
Tell him that you love him so
That you need him back at home
Find the words to convince him it was just a fling

The words pass your lips
It was just a kiss
You had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all away
He doesn’t care
Cos you were never there
You had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all away
