(2)  x5453x
 I was fine
 I pulled  myself  together
 Just in time
 To throw  myself  away
Once  my perfect  world was gone I  knew
 You ruined everything
 In the nicest way
 You should know
 How great  things were  before  you
 Even so
 They're better still today
I  can't think  of who I was before
 You ruined everything
 In the nicest way
Bumps  in the road  remind us
Worst  of the best  behind us
Only  good things  will find us
Me  and you
Days  will be clear  and sunny
We're  gonna need  more money
Baby,  you know  it's funny
All  those stories coming true
 Despite  my better efforts
 It's all for you
 The worst  kind of  cliche
I'll  be with  you till the day you leave
 You ruined everything
 In the nicest way
