I've Been Better

Darlin' after you left
I got that promotion
They transferred me out
To La Jolla right on the ocean

Now I'm makin' more money than I can spend
I've got a house on the beach and a bunch of new friends
Oh, you oughta hear what they say
Tellin' me that I've got it made

But I've been better
Yeah, I miss those times when we were still together
Right now lookin' back I don't think
The past has ever been this clear
And I realize sittin' here as I write this letter
Oh, I've been better

Well, I've been seein' a girl
That I met out in Spring Valley
She's havin' the time of her life
'Least that's what she tells me

She says love and to tell you the truth
I've tried my best to feel that way too
Oh, but I always realize
When I look into her eyes

That I've been better
Yeah, I miss those times when we were still together
Right now lookin' back I don't think
The past has ever been this clear
I realize sittin' here as I write this letter
Oh, I've been better

Oh, I've been better
Yeah, I miss those times when we were still together
Right now lookin' back I don't think
The past has ever been this clear
And I realize sittin' here as I write this letter
Oh, I've been better, oh, I've been better
