We made each other so much better lovers
But we don't get to reap the benefits
I know you want to be happy, and you should be
Hope you always will be, with or without me
I know you're not angry, just in love with somebody
Who happens to be not me, and that drives me crazy
You know the last five years have been quite the shit show
If they'd been alright, maybe I could forget you
Got three-fifths of a lifetime to figure it out though
Why I let you go…
We made each other so much better lovers
But we don't get to reap the benefits
From hand to mouth we really helped each other
Out from underneath the innocence
You know the last five years have been quite the shit show
If they'd been alright, maybe I could forget you
Got three-fifths of a lifetime to figure it out though
Why I let you go…
I only want to be happy, don't wanna give you no more grief
Don't wanna cause no scene at your wedding
Lasso up my friends, say, "Come on, we're leaving
She crossed the red line, now you're all all mine
'Cause she moved on with her life--how could she?
Can't she understand how inconvenient that is for me?
Doesn't she know I want her more than anything
Now that she's let me go?
I want to make a toast:
We made each other so much better lovers
The blushing groom now reaps the benefits
From hand to mouth we really helped each other
Out from underneath the innocence."
