They say you don't know what you gotnuntil it is gone.nWell I know what I'm not,nand this is where I belong.nThere by your sidenis where I should stand.nBut I was a foolnand let you slip through my hands.nnI watched you wave a sad goodbye,nand here I am alone, wondering why.nnSomehow, someway, the best ones get away.nSomehow, someway, the best ones get away.nAnd now, I pray for a chance at yesterdayncause the best one got away.nnMaybe it's harder to seenwhen it's in front of your face.nBut it's been easy for mento make the same damn mistakes.nI don't know what is wrongnwith having everything right.nBut I've been out here so long,nI run all the red lights.nnAnd as I head on down the linenand look back on the things I've left behind...nnSomehow, someway, the best ones get away.nSomehow, someway, the best ones get away.nAnd now, I pray for a chance at yesterdayncause the best one got away.nnI watched you wave a sad goodbye,nand here I am alone, wondering why.nnThey say you don't know what you gotnuntil it is gone.nnSomehow, someway, the best ones get away.nSomehow, someway, the best ones get away.nAnd now, I pray for a chance at yesterdayncause the best one got away.
