Song Description
When the relationship goes from two to three, he gives her an ultimatum, thinking she'll quickly yield--But this isn't the way she sees things. And though she knows he'll be gone, she's comforted in knowing he'll be leaving the best part of himself behind.

Lyrics
THE BEST THING YOU LEFT ME
©2009 RON CHASSNER
YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T READY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS
DIDN'T FIT INTO YOU PLANS--WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY
THEN YOU TOLD ME IF I DIDN'T DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO
WE'D BE OVER-FINISHED, YOU'D BE ON YOUR WAY
CHORUS:
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHIN' HONEY--IF THAT'S HOW YOU FEEL
I CAN BE TOUGH, HERE'S THE DEAL
'KNEW IT IN A HEARTBEAT--WHAT I HAD TO DO
SO COME GET ALL YOUR STUFF--I'M GONNA BE FINE
MAY NOT KNOW IT--BUT IN TIME
GONNA COME TO YOUR SENSES, THEN YOU'LL REALIZE
THE BEST THING YOU LEFT ME--IS LOOKIN' UP INTO MY EYES
YOU'RE SO SMOOTH, NOW I KNOW YOU FOR WHO YOU REALLY ARE
BOTTTOM LINE'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT YOU--NEVER ME
FROM THE START YOU PLAYED THE PERFCT PART, NOW IT'S TIME TO GET REAL
I SEE THAT 'LOVE' FOR YOU DON'T INCLUDE THE PARTS OF 'LOVE' I NEED
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
IT AIN'T LOVE WHEN I'D HAVE TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN WHAT YOU WANT, AND WHAT I'D HAVE TO LOSE
CHORUS: W/BREAKDOWN AND OUTRO
