The Next Best Thing

I'm looking forward to another day without you
The way I see it, you could never do what I do
I welcomed you with open arms
You drove a knife right through my heart
So now I'm crossing out the pain that's been tearing us apart

You were out of sight, now you're out of line
It went to your head, now you're left behind

Let me go, can't you see
You're just the next best thing to me
Here I go, honestly
You're just the next best thing to me

I'm packing up my things and moving on without you
As far as I can see, you'll never do what I do
I'm pushing you away
And living out my dreams that you tore down
Can't you swallow up your pride, admit to me and finally drown

I think you're in over your head
Choking as the water fills your lungs
Can't you see, to me you're dead
Too late now, what's said is done

You were out of sight, now you're out of line
Went to your head, now you're left behind

Let me go, can't you see
You're just the next best thing to me
Here I go, honestly
You're just the next best thing to me
