Best Not to Want (What You Know You Can't Have)
(Verse)
Best not to want what you know, you know, you know, you know you can't have
Best to spare yourself some heartache, best to enjoy a few good laughs
When a love gives you an inch, it's best not to take a mile
It's best to secretly admire that precious loves smile

(Hook)
Best not to set out on a journey you're not destined to
Best not to protect what was never yours to lose
Best not to fulfill fantasy's that could never live
Best not to take from a love what you know they can't give

(Chorus)
Best not to want what you know you can't have
Best to be good to you, if no one else has
Best to just know not all things are meant to be
If they know you know they love you, then knowing is as real as it can be

(Verse)
Sometimes it is hard when you know, you know, you know, you want to
treat a love well
But sometimes that's not up to you, and sometimes it's hard to tell
When they can't give you what you want, you must give them what they need
Sometimes it's time or space, maybe understanding but never greed

(Hook)
Best to stand for something or else fall for anything
Best to know sometimes love can be mean
Best to take that love than no love at all
Best to disguise your love if you know your love's too strong

(Chorus)
Best not to want what you know you can't have
Best to be good to you, if no one else has
Best to just know not all things are meant to be
If they know you know they love you, then knowing is as real as it can be

(Bridge)
Best just to know the unspoken does not exist
Best not to shoot, don't shoot, when you know, you know, you'll miss
Best not to cry for a love who'll shed you know tears
Best not to set your heart on a love who confirms your greatest fears


(Chorus2)
Best not to want what you know you can't have
Best to be good to you, if no one else has
Best to just know not all things are meant to be
If they know you know they love you, then knowing is as real as it can be

Best not to want what you know you can't have
Best to appreciate the good times you have
Best to be honest and kiss hope for that love goodbye
Best to sleep and dream of that love than without it lay awake at night
Best not to want what you know you can't have
