It started out like a song
We started quiet and slow with no surprise
Then one morning I woke to realize
We had a good thing going
It's not that nothing went wrong
Some angry moments, of course, but just a few
And only moments, no more, because we knew
We had a good thing going
And if I wanted too much, was that such a mistake at the time?
You never wanted enough, OK, tough, I don't make that a crime
And while it's going along
You take for granted some love will wear away
We took for granted a lot and still I say
"It could have kept on growing instead of just kept on"
We had a good thing going, going, gone

And if I wanted too much, was that such a mistake at the time?
You never wanted enough, OK, tough, I don't make that a crime
And while it's going along
You take for granted some love will wear away
We took for granted a lot and still I say
"It could have kept on going instead of just kept on"
We had a good thing going going gone
