How do I just forget that you were a part of me? How do I leave behind everything we knew? Looking inside of myself, where my heart would be And all I see is you there too Two of us goin' around in a state of denial, girl Neither believin' the way it all came down Didn't count much lost in paying the cost for a while, girl Then this old world stopped spinning 'round In better days we had it all In better days when love came easy We had it all but I never knew How much there was when I had you In better days, in better days I remember a time there wasn't a dime between us two We lived in a little old place on the side of a hill Gave it our best in love, did the rest for me and you Too young to lose, too hot to chill In better days we had it all In better days when love came easy We had it all but I never knew How much I lost when I lost you In better days, in better days Why do we promise forever and never stay that long? Why do we swear to care until we die? And what does it mean when two lovers sing loving songs Then move along and not know why In better days we had it all In better days when love was easy We had it all but I never knew How much there was between me and you In better days, back in better days In better days, way back in better days, yeah
