Lyrics

[Verse 1] They say that sleepless nights can teach you How to be alone They say that Dawn's eventually worth staying up for They say appetite returns And you stop aching in your bones They say you learn to laugh again Like you laughed before Oh, and conventional wisdom holds Out of sight and out of mind And that which does not kill us makes us strong But conventional wisdom fails me So does most of mankind You see, they have short attention spans And mine's unfortunately long [Chorus] You see, the only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt while it lasted Now I I can't seem To move past it [Verse 2] Yeah, baby, I'm the eighth world wonder The eighth continent The eighth deadly sin And day of the goddamn week The eighth Harry Potter book And the eighth big wide wide blue blue ocean You're in a world of seven I'm the greatest eight You never thought you'd see And baby, you? [Chorus] The only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt while it lasted I said the only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt How good it felt I said the only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt while it lasted Now I I can't seem To move past it [Bridge] I keep I keep waiting Waiting to stop feeling wrong Waiting to start being strong Waiting to like you again Waiting, but I can't pretend I hope she Slips and trips and Snips her Achilles Hope she Chokes on your jokes And you plant her her lilies I hope you Fail at sailing on a tidal wave Or get swirled into a whirlpool And can't be saved I hope you Succumb constantly to the common cold I hope you I hope you realize you're getting old I hope you're lonely at night Every time you breathe in This is what it feels like To miss my skin Oh, yeah Oh, yeah [Verse 3] Heartbreak makes you stronger And strength can make you great They say that scabs eventually Heal from your knees Mm, but the only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt while it lasted, babe And when it comes to heartbreak, babe, I I beg to differ, please [Chorus] The only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt while it lasted I said the only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt How good it felt I said the only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt while it lasted, babe I said the only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt How good it felt [Outro] I said the only good thing about loving you I said the only good thing about loving you Oh, how good How I said the only good thing about loving you Was how good it felt while it lasted Now I I can't seem To move past it
