Well, I boxed up those things   You left behind   And I gave 'em to goodwill   Outta sight, outta mind      But it's not working out   Like I hoped that things would   I guess it wouldn't be so bad   If it hadn't been so good      I called up my folks   And told 'em we were through   And I was well along my way   To gettin' over you      I didn't have to say much   'Cause I knew they understood   Yes, it wouldn't be so bad   If it hadn't been so good      All our old friends   They ask how you are   I tell 'em I don't know   And I don't care anymore      But I can't make them believe   No matter how I try   I've gotta learn to forget you   Or learn how to lie      Well, it isn't like love   Never hurt me before   But I always recovered   And came back for more      This time I'm wonderin'   If I even should   Lord, it wouldn't be so bad   If it hadn't been so good      We seemed so perfect from where I stood   And it wouldn't be so bad   If it hadn't been so good   Lord, it wouldn't be so bad   If it hadn't been so good
