Oh, I liked you better

Oh, I liked you good and clean

Before you turned bad weather

Raged a storm inside of me

Well the going got tough and the rough got going

And I begged for forgiveness and you prayed for unknowing it all

Oh, I liked you better

Oh, I liked you chemically

Before the bitter got the getter

And your world started unraveling

Now I'm coming up short and I'm coming down the fall

And I wish you were here but you wish I didn't happen at all

Oh, I liked you better

Oh, I liked you better

Oh, I liked you better

Oh, I liked you better

And now we've lost our grip and we've lost it all

Dropped our pennies in the well but I'm not wishing you well at all

I liked you better

Oh, I liked you better

Oh, I liked you better

Oh, I liked you better
