[Verse 1]
For the way you changed my plans
For being the perfect distraction
For the way you took the idea that I had
Of everything that I wanted to have
And made me see there was something missing, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
For the ending of my first beginning (Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah)
And for the rare and unexpected friend (Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah)
For the way you're something that I'd never choose
But at the same time, something I don't wanna lose
And never wanna be without ever again
[Chorus]
You're the best thing I never knew I needed
So when you were here, I had no idea
You're the best thing I never knew I needed
So now it's so clear, I need you here always
[Verse 3]
My accidental happily (Ever after)
The way you smile and how you comfort me (With your laughter)
I must admit you were not a part of my book
But now if you open it up and take a look
You're the beginning and the end of every chapter
[Chorus]
You're the best thing I never knew I needed
Oh, so when you were here, I had no idea (When you were here)
You're the best thing I never knew I needed (That I needed)
So now it's so clear, I need you here always (Now it's so clear)
[Bridge]
Who knew that I could be (Who knew that I could be)
So unexpectedly (So unexpectedly)
Undeniably happier
Sitting with you right here, right here next to me
[Chorus]
Girl, you're the best
You're the best thing I never knew I needed (Said I needed)
So when you were here I had no idea (When you were here, said I had no idea)
You're the best thing I never knew I needed (That I needed)
So now it's so clear I need you here always (So clear, so clear, I need you always)
[Outro]
Now it's so clear, I need you here always
