The Best Thing Lyrics by Matt Stell

A River Through It

2013

I tried to warn her this ain’t a friendly game
It’s just warfare by a different name
She won’t listen so I’m tryin' to pretend
That I don’t know how the story’s gonna end
But the best thing I can do for my heart
The best thing I can do for that girl
Is act like we never noticed one another
Maybe we won’t wreck each other’s worlds
It’s like a tight rope hangin' by a thread
A vicious cycle where no one comes out ahead
She’s divin’ in to try to save a drowning man
But I’ll take her down with me if I can
But the best thing I can do for my heart
The best thing I can do for that girl
Is act like we never noticed one another
Maybe we won’t wreck each other’s worlds
My heart stays locked away somewhere
You’re the reason that it’s there
But the best thing, I can do for my heart
The best thing, I can do for that girl
Is act like we never noticed one another
Maybe we won’t wreck each other
The best thing I can do for my heart
The best thing I can do for that girl
Is act like we never noticed one another
Maybe we won’t wreck each other’s worlds
The best thing, yeah, the best thing
