Allan, Gary - Best I Ever Had Lyrics
So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
And nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now.
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had.
So you stole my world, now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl leaves me down and lonely
Well send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better.
But it's not so bad
You dont want me back
You're just the best I ever had.
And it might take some time to patch me up inside
but I cant take it so I, I run away and hide
And I might find in time that you were always right
You're always right.
So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now, I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
Was it what you wanted?
Could it be I'm haunted?
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You dont want me back
You're just the best I ever had.
You're just the best I ever had

Allan, Gary Best I Ever Had Comments
Rose🌹
Reminds me of my ex Kelly.. I had to move back to Arizona from Kentucky for my job. We were so good together. Wonder what would have happened if I had stayed... 😢
Why didn't she go with you?
Funny out of every song that Gary had to pick to show his grieving, he picked this one. It brings back so many memories. Life house was my group back when I first started dating my boys dad. He has been gone now 5 years today and just listening to this crying and remembering how much I miss him. 2-21-77 to 12/14/14 💔
Gary allan has been my favorite since i was a kid always loved all his songss!!
"You're only the best I ever had.." Love this song!!
This is when he stopped wearing the cowboy hat, sad song : [
No wonder this dude don't have airplay in Texas much less Houston ..
This dude brings out everyone's emotional word vomit.
Beautiful
I heard him sing this live 2 months ago. He stopped singing and had the audience sing back to him during this song. Awesomeness
Happy to see the real you.... god bless you son
💑💏👫🤘🥇
About to go on 4 years, without a thing. I guess sometimes love is so boring. Nothing is ever the same. I guess you really were the best, and only I ever had.
Thank-You 💜
That's you Angela...

Hello I am
The best I ever had, her parents broke us apart. Haven't had any contact since then
The best I ever had pulled the trigger and left me with a 6 page letter that makes me question every move I make.
Miss Graman you are the best thing that I have ever had I was thinking about you today and I will be back on Monday I will make it up to you to decide if I should just give up and get on with my life and I will get sad when you have a chance to talk with me about you leaving for Chicago I can't let you leave me alone I won't allow you to leave me alone and I'm lonely and when you leave for Chicago this Friday
Great song. Great rendition.
Absolutely my favorite singer. Love this song

Sugar DonWon me!
I Wrote This in 2009
One of the only times I think I might like a remake of a song better than the original. 👍✌😊
Writen and sang by Vertical Horizon. But Gary does a wonderful cover <3🤙✌ Just as the Hurt cover by Cash, it was from nine inch nails about heroine addiction. Beautiful, deep songs... but all cover work.
Thank you Gary, your music is still better than that so called country shit thay play on the radio in 2019
Dear Mr. Allan, as a suicide survivor of a deceased husband, your strength and kindness helped me through a very dark and lost place in my life.
This cover is better than the original by Vertical Horizon.
Wrong. You can't cover the song if there is no Vertical Horizon
@Dipa Anggara P. What the hell do you mean wrong? Look it up.
Vertical Horizon wrote this song in 1999 and they sing it better... Gary Allan is good though.
Who ever sees this comment... stay strong things will get better ... keep fighting
God, I miss her
Thank you for sending me this Matt, I love you ❤️
Got the chance to meet Gary--intimidating looking dude in person but could not have been nicer. Strong grip on the ol' handshake too. This song depresses me but I listen to it a lot anyway.
I love this man, he always brings out the person im hiding from, me, with this man, this artist, this song, and all his music, i cry, an face what ive done, an still am doing, to the ones i love most in all the world, wow😢 This man is so raw, and emotional, an sexy, an vunerable, and i could go an on.....
Heard it then & still love it now; 2019.
Beautiful song. Beautiful tribute. Glad he stayed true to the original released by Vertical Horizon in 2001.
Written by Vertical Horizons singer guitarist Matt Scannell
Oh wow i remember when this was on cmt countdown and hearing it on the radio. Good times when i was a kid listening to his music. Always on my playlist. Come back to the Navajo Nation fair. Love your music. #rezboywelder
That guitar is beautiful
2019 anyone?
He has such a nice voice
Your music is so good I love it so much it's the world to me and I love it as much as you sing and I want you to keep seeing every song that you have been riding down and listen to I want you to sing everything that you make up
beautiful song Gary
Didnt really feel until I had to walk away. The pain has stretched me to the edge. I have no idea why I cant get over this step. Gary Allen sir you keep me spin for now
I'm in love with a beatiful woman Sherri
To you Jerry Wayne Scoggins love you always
Love everything this beautiful man sings
Oh my heart 💔
Lost my mom two and half years ago, I'm still learning to live on my own. Song reminds of good days I spent with her before her health went bad. Sure do miss her, and contemplated suicide after she died. I thought about running out in front a car, over dosing, jumping off a bridge and drowning myself. That was before I returned to church and made turned my life over to Jesus. I'm glad I'm not dead because there's still more in store for me. Work two jobs I know they say you shouldn't consider coworkers friends, but I do consider them friends. Had I been successful and killed myself I never would've met them.
Wrote this to Mr. Allen
" Didn't Change Me Much"
P' oz
Didn't change me much
My face was already wet
My hair too
I was already chilled to the bone
Soles of my shoes already ruined
I was already miserable and blue
Thinkin about not seeing you
Yeah
Getting caught in the rain
Didn't change me much
It just made me smile
The thunder told me what I already knew
So loud and clear
" My Jambox Never Lies "
P' oz
Don't know what I got
I know it isn't perfect
I'm ok with that
Don't know how to see this clearly
Or tell myself what the deal really is when the subject matter becomes so intricate
That's why My Jambox Never Lies
Yeah
A song can make you feel something special every time
There's more to it
When people are expressing these thoughts and emotions it can be so revealing
Not just about the artist
Rather life in general
Concepts that cannot seem to be disearned suddenly can be so clear and rewarding
L8ke revelation before your very eyes
That's why my Jambox never Lies
Been through to much that can't be described
That's why
To many times when you opened my mind
To a new concept or something
That's why
So many times when I was alone and facing something wicked with vicious teeth
That's why
And all those times in between when romance was so alive
That's why
Because it would be much more complicated to unravel a web of deciet
That's why
Because we've gone to far to turn our backs on each other
That's why
Because it would hurt so bad
I don't wanna make you feel that
Don't wanna make you feel bad ..
That's why
Because the truth may hurt but you can always respect it
That's why
My Jambox Never Lies
"W.w.JD."
(What wouldn't J'sus Do"
By
P'oz
The voice ask me
What would Jsus do
I ask the voices
What wouldn't Jsus do
What would God do
With broken and defeated men
Who just don't quit get it yet or
Have a clue
How strong you are or have to be just to deal with the world the way it is now
Look up to the sky, no
Rather look today in the eye
No b.s.
Just whatever's coming up and tryin
Just not enough information to
Solve the riddles
A disadvantage
That has a tendency to cause the
Calamity
Try to shut up and just endure it all and be brave
Even if it fell down on both knees
It wouldn't be enough
And how to be a champion now?
I just don't know
Asking myself why would Jsus even try under those conditions
What's my mission
" so hungry I got honorary citizenship as a hugarian. "
P'oz
The lyrics don’t make any sense. Love is so boring? And doesn’t even fit with rest of lyrics that also don’t make any sense. Followed recommendation on my feed. Took a listen but it makes no sense to me. Odd song.
the song is about his wife when she killed herself. hes saying she thought the love was boring
@t JoJo - topic ... the song is not about his wife, he didn't write it at all. It's a cover of a song by Vertical Horizon about breaking up. Gary dedicated it to his wife who commited suicide because it's still a lovely song.
Damn, this song makes me cry because it makes me think about my ex girlfriend who I did absolutely everything for her and it all meant nothing to her and I’m hated now because I was the best I could be but I still think she was the best I had and it just breaks my heart
... sometimes we try too hard and women just want assholes. :( Hang in there and find someone who respects you more.
When he died I quit living.
But it's not so bad ....your only the best I ever had.....u don't want me back ...your the just the best I ever had ❤️💋 and it might take some time to patch me up inside so I can't take it so I run away and hide ...I might find In time that u were always right ....ur always what I always wanted ....❤️💖
Heck yeah, i am. Lol
T.s head best
Great talent
To everyone who thinks this is a country saw its a cover song by a rock group. The original is the best.
Something about this video, the water, the randomness, the emptiness, gives me anxiety....
Strong and powerful song!....this is a song that it you in the heart!
Gorgeous
That happened with my first wife now I keep my dignity admite my faults and walk away. When you get to this point you can't blame her for kicking you in balls and laughing at you. I am speaking from experience when I say this.
I want to do this for a lot of drop dead gorgouse black haired sanbernardno Calif police and put black roses white roses blue roses and pink roses peach roses red roses in that boat the boat with my toy police car roses the color of San Bernardino police cars
Gary Allan's songs are always so beautifully sorrowful and deep...very talented artist...that's dealt with some dark times and it shows in his brilliant work
I love you Lisa B.
Missing someone you love hurts worse than anything
Goodbye
Gary is so relate able and his songs help with all the pain of the world so let's get Gary more fans
Best Country artist out there
Oh my goodness, first time hearing Gary , no words to describe the feelings
Gary allen, has the most smoky and sultry voice ever. Hope his career goes well, im courting this wonderful lady, she enjoys his singing
For those of us who have loved and lost. This song pulls at the heart strings ……. what an incredible artist.
He got the true true jeans
Damn it Woman
I love you johnny clay.
Use your Guitar noob
I like more the original
My favorite song. For over a decade.
Lost my husband. Music brings me comfort or haunts me
This song is is about being left intentionally by someone. As much as we have nostalgia for the song, it is not for us. Enjoy it's beautiful melody, but do not dwell on it.
Through death or otherwise ( from which your your loss stems) we will persevere. We will overcome. I wish only be best for you, sister. May you find peace and happiness once again. You are not alone. We are not alone.
