[Verse 1]
You got a million reasons to hesitate
But darling, the future's better than yesterday
Wasted so much time on people that reminded me of you
Gave you a million reasons to walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
But I built a house out of the mess and all the broken pieces
I'll make up for all of your tears
[Chorus]
I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Past love, burned out like a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years
[Verse 2]
I wanna hold your hand when you drink too much
And carry you home when you can not stand up
You did all these things for me when I was half a man for you
I wanna hold your hand while we're growing up
[Pre-Chorus]
But I built a house out of the mess and all the broken pieces
I'll make up for all of your tears
[Chorus]
I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Past love, burned out like a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years
The best years
