Lyrics

It started out like a song
It started quiet and slow with no surprise
And 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 cecause we knew
We had this good thing going
And if I wanted too much was that such a mistake at the time?
You never wanted enough— all right, 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 but still I say:
It could have kept on growing
Instead of just kept on
We had a good thing going
Going
Gone
