lyrics

Woke up this morning feeling older
The house was dark and our bed colder
Sad story but no one's listening
Hard truths we keep dismissing
Yeah, I care a little less, less, less, less
It's as good as it gets
As good as it gets, gets, gets, gets

Funny how the past can linger
Then so easily slip away
Church bills ringing from the hilltop
Ain't gonna ring for us someday
But maybe it's for the best,
Maybe it's best, best, best, best
As good as it gets
Sometimes it's as good as it gets, gets, gets, gets

Tell me honey when you look at me
Am I the man that you thought I'd be?
Or just a shadow of what you really need?
I don't know what else I can do
Seems there's no words left to say
Feel a lot like a spectator
While all we built just crumbles away

Woke this morning feeling older
Saw my error, it was all too late
Began to stir from our old bed
The Autumn light across my face
I was such a fool
Now darling I'm a mess, mess, mess, mess
It's as good as it gets,
As good as it gets, gets, gets, gets
