Pinned between the likes of Camilla Cabello, Alicia Keys, and Miley Cyrus, the ever-talented Diana Gordon has one of the best. If you read the last two lines of every verse, I think they are the best and put the most meaning into the song. It shows how much he deeply loved this woman, to set her apart from every other person and put her above anyone else despite the fact he can't have her. I agree with agentelibre the line 'If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best' is very powerful. I don't really understand the second verse, starting from 'But where was June'.

This song makes me think of 'the one that got away', an unrequited love.
