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 But 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 unravelling Now I'm coming up the 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
