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
