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"
