Lyrics
We had a good run, you and me Ten sweet years, now set me free No hard words, no broken plate Just two hearts that need to separate You take the record player, dear I'll keep the plant that's thriving here We laughed about who gets the cat Funny how we ended that Better apart, still friends Better apart, it mends Love grew up and said goodbye Without a tear, without a lie Better apart, still friends Wave to me when the song ends We got it right, we got it clear Better apart, my dear Call me when your birthday comes I'll bring the cake and sing the drums No ghosts at the table, no regret Just the best of what we met Some loves are a house to stay in Some are a road to walk Ours was a lovely road, my dear And now we stop to talk Better apart, still friends Better apart, it mends Love grew up and said goodbye Without a tear, without a lie Better apart, still friends Wave to me when the song ends We got it right, we got it clear Better apart, my dear Still friends Still friends
