Backroom Stereo - The Best Damn Thing

The lights were dim and the room was filled with colourAs the smoke seeped out all the across the floorYou feel the people, and their bodies pressed against yoursFeeling more than you’ve felt in such a long timeAnd you saw his eyesGlisten in the lightHis lips cried out "come close to me"The rest they say is historyThe words pass your lipsIt was just a kissYou had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all awayHe doesn’t careCos you were never thereYou had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all awayYou’re feeling emptyLike the bottle you had started onIt once was full but now it’s goneIt’s a metaphor for the numbness that you feelNot a sense of guilt for the hurt you causedBut you want him back as you watch for the doorAs you plan out your speechEvery word you will sayYou play the conversation in your headEvery word to make it all okay, and nowThe words pass your lipsIt was just a kissYou had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all awayHe doesn’t careCos you were never thereYou had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all awayAnd now you’re sad and all aloneStaring at your mobile phoneWondering if you should pick it up and call him nowTell him that you love him soThat you need him back at homeFind the words to convince him it was just a flingThe words pass your lipsIt was just a kissYou had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all awayHe doesn’t careCos you were never thereYou had the best damn thing and you threw it, threw it all away
