The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Back when we had nothing

That was when we had it all

We were so in love, it almost hurt

Now, you're staring at the TV

While I'm staring at the wall

And I'm hurting now-for the way we were

I liked it better when we had it bad

When a burning love was all we had

And every time we were apart

There was an aching in our hearts

Now that ain't the way things are

And it's so sad

I liked it better when we had it bad

I don't know how it happens

Why the passion has to fade

Remember when we said it never would

Won't you hold me like you used to

When you took my breath away

'Cause it ain't too late for us to feel that good

I liked it better when we had it bad

When a burning love was all we had

And every time we were apart

There was an aching in our hearts

Now that ain't the way things are

And it's so sad

I liked it better when we had it bad

I liked it better when we had it bad

When a burning love was all we had

And every time we were apart

There was an aching in our hearts

Now that ain't the way things are

And it's so sad

I liked it better when we had it bad

I liked it better when we had it bad
