Maybe I didn't realize
The way I loved the way you moved,
'Till I moved so far away
I couldn't see you anymore.

And maybe all those secret times
Didn't seem so bad until I knew,
All of my little secrets
Weren't all that secret anymore

Maybe it's all right,
I mean, I went and found the modern world,
But I miss the way life was
When you were my girl

I know I never noticed then
Just what it was I had
Up until I lost you,
And man, did I lose you
Ain't that the way it always goes?

And I know you are gonna be just fine,
You know they say it's better
To have loved and to lose it,
Than to never ever know it,
Easy come and easy go, whatever

Maybe it's all right,
I mean, I went and found the modern world,
But I miss the way life was
When you were my girl
