Lyrics
Shadow puppets on the wall
Wondering if I ever knew your true face at all
And all I have is a box of broken memories
And all I have is an incomplete collection of CDs
And it's Emmy the great and Fleetwood Mac
It's way too late for looking back at that
And it's Johnny Flynn and Bon Iver
And all the things we never really were
And Even though I use the winter time to hide
I'll come out on the other side
And I grieve what never was alive
'Cause nothing ever hurt so bad
But you're the best thing that I ever nearly had
And I was never any good at keeping the hurt pinned
I asked you not to call but I was fucking gutted when you didn't
And it's Christie Moore and it's Steve Earl
And dancing to the Galway girl all night
And it's Jimmy In Blink and 'all the small things'
"Late at night a lover sings" for what
And eventhough I use the winter time to hide
I'll come out on the other side
And I never grieve what never lived or died
And the thing that really makes me sad
Is you're the best thing that I never really had
'Cause you're the best thing that I never really had
'Cause you're the best thing I've ever nearly had
