You were the best thing and the
Worst thing to ever happen to me,
All rolled up in to one
And it's taken me this long to write a song about you

Should have listened to myself
When you walked back into my life for the third time
Guess I should have closed my legs and my door to you
But I can trust you 'bout as far as you can throw me
And I can stand you just as long as you afforded me
And it's taken me this long to write a song about you

You were the best thing and the
Worst thing to ever happen to me,
All rolled up in to one
And it's taken me this long to write a song about you

And I hope I never see you again but I promise you one thing
I may never see your face but I know you'll see me
Yeah I know you'll see me
You should probably watch out for me

You were the best thing and the
Worst thing to ever happen to me,
All rolled up in to one
And it's taken me this long to write a song about you

And I'm sorry if this doesn't do it for ya
I'm sorry it didn't measure up
And I'm sorry if I left you feelin' empty
I'm sorry you let your lies screw you up
I'm sorry that I didn't love you more
But I feel sorry for that whore you left me for
I'm sorry I gave you five years
But most of all I'm sorry it took me this long
I'm sorry it took me this long
I'm sorry it took me this long
I'm sorry it took me this long
To write a song about you
