You've 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

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

I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Pass up and I'll light a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years

I wanna hold your hand when you drink too much
And 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'll make up for all of your tears

I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Pass up and I'll light a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years, the best years

I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Pass up and I'll light a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years, I'll give you the best years
