Well, I boxed up those things

You left behind

And I gave 'em to Goodwill

Outta sight, outta mind

But it's not working out

Like I hoped that things would

I guess it wouldn't be so bad

If it hadn't been so good



I called up my folks

And told 'em we were through

And I was well along my way

To gettin' over you

I didn't have to say much

Cause I knew they understood

Yes, it wouldn't be so bad

If it hadn't been so good



All our old friends

They ask how you are

I tell 'em I don't know

And I don't care anymore

But I can't make them believe

No matter how I try

I've gotta learn to forget you

Or learn how to lie



Well, it isn't like love

Never hurt me before

But I always recovered

And came back for more

This time I'm wonderin'

If I even should

Lord, it wouldn't be so bad

If it hadn't been so good



We seemed so perfect from where I stood

And it wouldn't be so bad

If it hadn't been so good

Lord, it wouldn't be so bad

If it hadn't been so good
