[Verse 1]
Well the mail doesn't come on Sunday
Even if I've got a package to send
Things don't always happen how I want them
Some things are out of my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
How can this be what you had planned on?
Neither of us felt better than before
[Chorus]
Perhaps we were better than before
Perhaps we were better than before
[Verse 2]
Well your heart doesn't love how you want it
That's just the way that it works
You can try, but you're going to have to work it
And if you work, it is going to hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
How can this be what you imagined?
Neither of us felt better than before
[Chorus]
Perhaps we were better than before
Perhaps we were better than before
[Bridge]
How could this be what you had wanted?
Neither of us felt better than before
[Chorus]
Perhaps we were better than before
Perhaps we were better than before
Perhaps we were better than before
Perhaps we were better than before
(Better than before, better than before)
(Better than before, better than before)
(Better than before, better than before)
(Better than before, better than before)
