Now here’s a story with a twist about a love I might’ve missed
Telling myself that he’s Mister Wrong
I know perfection don’t exist but I just can’t seem to resist
Making it up as I go along
Cos you’re a daydream, you’re only make believe
You're just the fragments and pieces of every film I’ve ever seen
You’re the best thing that never happened to me.
I keep comparing him to you so its a game he’ll always lose
Cos he don’t even know that it's going on
And if it came down to the two, I wouldn’t know which one to choose
Cos I can’t seem to stop myself holding on
To this daydream, you’re only make believe
You’re every love song ever written and every line I read between
You’re the best thing that never happened to me
I spent my life writing a list defining love’s prerequisites
They keep writing their way into every song
But on this love that I’d insist and every wish I’d ever wished
It's been staring me right in the face all along
Cos you’re just a daydream, you’re only make believe
An unattainable vision you only see on silver screens
You're the best thing that never happened
Yeah you’re a daydream, you’re only make believe
I gotta try not to listen, cos this love just aint what it seems
You're the best thing that never happened to me
Now he’s the best thing that’s gonna happen
