Title: “Best Thing You Ever Did”

Title: “Best Thing You Ever Did” Verse 1 You left your boots by the back screen door Like you’d be back by half past four But that old truck never came up the drive Just dust and a dog that whined all night I sat on the porch with a half-sweet tea Watching your shadow unhook from me And I thought my world just split in two Turns out the crack let the light shine through Chorus Losing you was a wildfire blessing Burned down every doubt I was confessing I cried like rain on a tin roof tin Then I grew back stronger than I’d ever been You swore I’d break when you said goodbye But baby, look at me now, I fly Yeah, you walking out set my whole heart free Best thing you ever did was leave me Verse 2 I took your name off the mailbox paint Watched it fade like a roadside saint Changed the sheets, let the windows wide Let every ghost get blown outside I found my laugh in a neon bar Two-stepped alone under string-light stars First time I didn’t check my phone Felt my own skin like a place called home Chorus Losing you was a wildfire blessing Burned down every doubt I was confessing I cried like rain on a tin roof tin Then I grew back stronger than I’d ever been You swore I’d break when you said goodbye But baby, look at me now, I fly Yeah, you walking out set my whole heart free Best thing you ever did was leave me Bridge There’s a rearview cross on a county road Where I buried dreams we used to tow I tipped my hat to the girl back then Who loved you more than she loved her skin She don’t live here anymore I locked that hurt behind a barnwood door Final Chorus Losing you was a wildfire blessing Lit up parts of me you kept second-guessing I cried like rain till the clouds gave in Now the sun’s in places it’s never been You swore I’d break when you said goodbye But baby, look at me now, I fly Yeah, you walking out set my whole heart free Best thing you ever did… Yeah, the best thing you ever did Was leave me Outro So if you’re wondering where I’ve been I’ve been finding me again
