The Best Worst Thing

I hate that you've seen me naked
I hate all those smiles I was faking
I hate that I didn't just punch you
That time on our date you were rude to the waitress
I hate how you'd speak to my brother
I hate that I considered forever
I hate that the minute we broke up
You stood there and trashed me on a call to your mother
But the thing about these things
Now that I'm looking back
I can see some good in the bad

Oh, I love
That you taught me to fight for myself
Now I can't lose me to anyone else
I learned lessons that no one can teach
You were the best worst thing for me
And I'm thanking my lucky stars
For all the ways you broke my heart
'Cause I'm really starting to see
You were the best worst thing for me
I hate how you were fake with my friends
And I hate how much you loved perfection
And I hate that you stopped me from singing
'Cause you had me convinced that no one would listen

Oh I hate things you'd say after three drinks
I hate that when I'd share my feelings
You'd play them like a chess game
And I'd hold my tongue 'cause with you there was no winning
The thing about these things
There's no use in holding on
When you can find some right in the wrong

So I love
That you taught me to fight for myself
Now I can't lose me to anyone else
I learned lessons that no one can teach
You were the best worst thing for me
And I'm thanking my lucky stars
For all the ways you broke my heart
'Cause I'm really starting to see
You were the best worst thing for me

La di di di da da da
La di di di da da da da
La di di di da da da
La di di dum da da da da da da
La di di da

I could kick myself for being naïve
And hanging on too long
And I could be embarrassed
That I let you have those 3 little words at all
But now I

Oh, I know what I don't want
And I'm happy to report
I got myself
I got myself a good one
He's listening to this song on our bedroom floor

So I love
That you taught me to fight for myself
Now I can't lose me to anyone else
I learned lessons that no one can teach
You were the best worst thing for me
And I'm thanking my lucky stars
I found the right place for my heart
In the end, I really do see
You were the best worst thing for me

La di di di da da da
La di di di da da da da
La di di di da da da
La di di dum da da da da da da
