Stephen Kellogg - As Good as It's Been lyrics

Shoeshine 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
