Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Scrolling through all your vacation pictures
Feeling sorry for myself
Cause I'm not in them
I talk about how much I miss ya
And if I could press rewind
I'd listen
Over and over and over again

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I had figured it out cause
My days are nothing without us
Wish I had known what I had cause now

[Chorus]
On my best days
His day is better cause he's with you
Oh my best days
They ain't as good cause I still miss you
Oh my mistake
How could I let you go
I guess I will never know
My best days
I'll never know
My best days

[Verse 2]
I didn't really know what I was doing
Was scared I couldn't finished what I started
What I started, alright
I was immature and stupid
Now I’m just immature and brokenhearted
Over and over and over again

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I had figured it out ’cause
My days are nothing without us
Wish I had known what I had, 'cause now

[Chorus]
On my best days
His day is better cause he's with you
Oh my best days
They ain't as good cause I still miss you
Oh my mistake
How could I let you go
I guess I will never know
My best days
I'll never know
My best days

[Post-Chorus]
You left me tryna live it all down
Cause you took our dreams and you're living 'em out
Now you're in love with somebody else yeah yeah
Living out our best days
So much to be sorry about
I wish I knew I’d be wanting you now
Now you're in love with somebody else yeah yeah
Living out our best days

[Bridge]
And if I had a second chance
I would take you right back right now
I would take you right back right now
Hey hey
And if I had a second chance
I would take you right back right now
I would take you right back

[Chorus]
On my best days
His day is better cause he's with you
Oh my best days
They ain't as good cause I still miss you
Oh my mistake
How could I let you go
I guess I will never know
My best days
I'll never know
My best days

[Post-Chorus]
You left me tryna live it all down
Cause you took our dreams and you're living 'em out
Now you're in love with somebody else yeah yeah
Living out our best days
So much to be sorry about
I wish I knew I’d be wanting you now
Now you're in love with somebody else yeah yeah
Living out our best days

[Outro]
Yeah yeah (Our best days)
Oh oh (Our best days)
