As Good As Its Been Lyrics

Shoe shine girl from New York State, I'll never curse my
fate
Your family, your love of me and the way you made me wait
A catholic girl, cranberry curls, one-thousand eighty
days
Stars, Stripes and Paisley, the saddest anniversary
Every day the dream of perfect love gets blown away
*As good as it has been,
I wouldn't change a thing
But I'd also never go back again

As good as it has been
Pale-faced protector, acting like an actor, I (you) did the best I (you) could
The hardest part of letting go is to smile as your lover
goes
Then say that you understood
You would pout, we'd work it out but sometimes it got
tough
With Sun Junky boys, Suburban toys, as good as it has
been
it's never been enough
The water and the phoenix
Were never meant to mix
It's a sure fired end
As good as it has been
