You’ve got a million reasons to hesitate
But darling the future is better than yesterday
I wasted so much time on people that reminded me of you
I gave you a million reasons to walk away

But I’ll build a house, out of the mess
And all of the broken pieces
I make up for all of your tears

I’ll give you the best years
I’ll give you the best years
My past love burned out like a cigarette
I promise darling you won’t regret
The best years

I wanna hold your hair when you drink too much
Carry you home when you cannot 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

But I’ll build a house, out of the mess
And all of the broken pieces
I make up for all of your tears

I’ll give you the best years
I’ll give you the best years
My past love burned out like a cigarette
I promise darling you won’t regret
The best years
