Good Thing Going

It started out like a song

We started quiet and slow

With no surprise

And then one morning I woke

To realize

We had a good thing going

It's not that nothing went wrong

Some angry moments, of course

But just a few

And only moments, no more

Because we knew

We had this good thing going

And if I wanted too much

Was that such

A mistake

At the time?

You never wanted enough—

All right, tough

I don't make

That a crime

♪

And while it's going along

You take for granted some love

Will wear away

We took for granted a lot

But still I say

It could have kept on growing

Instead of just kept on

We had a good thing going

Going

Gone
