Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It could have been but never was
At least the way you thought it'd be when you grew up
And there's so much of you I love
But loving you alone isn't enough
[Chorus]
You were good
You were good
Then you were gone
I believed you all along
Yeah it's sad but baby here we are
It was good
It was good
Then it was gone
[Verse 2]
You got a charm you wear around your neck
Reminds you of him and I can see right through
Either you're just bad at cheating
Or there's something in your heart you wished I knew
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
So I'm not who you wanted but
You're still the one who sets the fire in me
Guess I'll drink what I'll drink
Until the loving touch I need is not a need
[Chorus]
[Outro]
It was good
It was good
Then it was gone
It was good
It was good
Then it was gone
