i know its where we had to end   the torch we doused we lit again   the flame of our affliction kept us   holding on from far away   the dreams we had   the love we made   the times we drank ourselves asleep   to wake up to what we believe   in what we have and what we need   we'll wonder how good it can get      much better than this      im in the good life now   i see myself   smiling bigger and wider than you ever knew how   im in the good life now   all by myself   getting better with every regret ill allow      i guess its where the time begins   when you get drunk and call again   and i cant sit here listening to   how bad you want to break away   to drink yourself like hemingway   so you can make a memory   of the things you never turned into   and every girl that ill go through   theyll wonder how good it can get      much better than this      im in the good life now   i see myself   smiling bigger and wider than you ever knew how   im in the good life now   all by myself   getting better with every regret ill allow      i hear from your friends your still alive   i guess i wasted those wishes on nothing      im in the good life now   i see myself   smiling bigger and wider than you ever knew how   im in the good life now   all by myself   getting better with every regret ill allow   [x2]
