Darling after you left I got that promotion
They transferred me out to La Jolla right on the ocean
Now I'm making more money than I can spend
I've got a house on the beach and a bunch of new friends
Oh, you oughta hear what they say
Telling me that I've got it made

But, I've been better
Yeah, I miss those times when we were still together
Right now looking back
I don't think the past has ever been this clear
And I realize sitting here, as I write this letter
Oh, I've been better

I've been seeing a girl that I met out in Spring Valley
She's having the time of her life, at least that's what she tells me
She says it's love and to tell you the truth
I've tried my best to feel that way too
Oh, but I always realize
When I look into her eyes

That I've been better
Yeah, I miss those times when we were still together
Right now looking back
I don't think the past has ever been this clear
And I realize sitting here, as I write this letter
Oh, I've been better

Oh, I've been better 
I miss those times when we were still together
Right now looking back
I don't think the past has ever been this clear
And I realize sitting here, as I write this letter
Oh, I've been better
Oh, I've been better
