"Best"

Whoever said
That words can't hurt you must have never had
A dictionary dropped down on their head
From a distance
The last I checked
That'd knock you dead

And I'm impressed
'Cause based on the available context
Well, I don't think you were speaking in jest
I think you meant it
Because you signed it
And then you sent it

You could've told me to get lost
It wouldn't have hurt me so bad
You could've told me to fuck off
I would've probably just laughed
But for all the days we spent together
And all the ways you could end a letter
I would've thought you'd pick something better
But instead, you chose "Best"

Well, I confess
If this was just some ruthless kind of test
To see if I'd get uselessly obsessed
Well, then you nailed it
'Cause you passed it
And I failed it

You could've told me to get lost
It wouldn't have hurt me so bad
You could've told me to fuck off
I would've probably just laughed
But for all the days we spent together
And all the ways you could end a letter
I would've thought you'd pick something better
But instead, you chose "Best"

Oh, oh yes
I'd have never guessed
Baby, you chose "Best", oh, oh

Peace, love, sincerely, warmest regards, cheers, yours truly, XO
Talk soon, later, thanks for reading, with all due respect
Let me be direct

Did you forget
How many times the two of us had sex?
Though I would call it love making instead
At least a thousand
The last I checked
But who's counting?

You could've told me to get lost
It wouldn't have hurt me so bad
You could've told me to fuck off
I would've probably just laughed
But for all the days we spent together
And all the ways you could end a letter
I would've thought you'd pick something better
But instead, you chose "Best"

Oh, oh yes
I'd have never guessed
Baby, you chose "Best"
Oh, oh yes
I'd have never guessed
Baby, you chose "Best"
Of all of the things you've got to say
Baby, you chose "Best"
