Maybe I didn't realize
the way I loved the way you moved,
'till I moved so far away
I couldn't see you anymore.

And maybe all those secret times
didn't seem so bad until I knew,
all of my little secrets 
weren't all that secret anymore

Maybe it's all right,
I mean, I went and found the modern world,
but I miss the way life was
when you were my girl

I know I never noticed then
just what it was I had
up until I lost you,
and man, did I lose you
ain't that the way it always goes?

And I know you are gonna be just fine,
you know they say it's better 
to have loved and to lose it,
than to never ever know it,
 [bad word] and easy go, whatever

Maybe it's all right,
I mean, I went and found the modern world,
but I miss the way life was
when you were my girl
