How Good It Was
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.
And then she's here and then she's gone
Never to be seen again
And then she's here and then she's gone
Never to be seen again
I'm trying not to think of her but think of nothing else
And the sights of the sheets at the end of the bed
And the gap on the wall where she hangs up the jacket
I try not to think of her, but she's seen I'm on a missing streak
Thinking about who is bad and the dreams she is small
And the nights are on there, I try to remember
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember
Remember the world, only a world, like when we knew
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall
The times that we said that we'll never regret, like when we knew
And then she's here and then she's gone
Never to be seen again
And then she's here and then she's gone
Never to be seen again
I try not to think of you but think of nothing else
And if you're out enjoying yourself, well I hope that you are well not that much
You can't give me a phone to see if I carry a secret, a wishing, a once moved idea
Still think of me still, still brings me on
When she can keep, say you'll remember
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember
Remember the world, only a world, like when we knew
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall
The times that we said that we'll never regret, like when we knew
