Darlin' after you left I got that promotion

They transferred me out to la jolla right on the ocean

And 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

[Chorus]

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

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 it's 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

[Chorus]

Oh, I've been better
