Your initial reply hit me undercover 
 
 When I lost my head to it 
 
 It was out of its time, it was undiscovered 
 
 As I caught my breath again 
 
 You were running out of lies to keep me under 
 
 Afraid of your back hands (?) 
 
 So to speak, you had me shaking at the knees 
 
  
  But I dont know the way out of this mess 
 
 No, I dont know the way out of this mess 
 
 And if you would've seen me at my best 
 
 Would it have changed anything at all? 
  
 
 Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better 
 
 When times were better than this 
 
 We never had to remember when times were better 
 
 When times were better than this 
  
 
 The door was always open 
 
 But still not nearly enough to let me in 
 
 and my eyes are wide awake, 
 
 And i can see you clearly, but you dont stand out one bit. 
 
 I was always loud enough just for you to hear me 
 
 You never caught the wind 
 
 Now watch me break 
 
 Breakdown this time, this time again 
  
 
 But I dont know the way out of this mess 
 
 No, I dont know the way out of this mess 
 
 And if you would've seen me at my best 
 
 Would it have changed anything at all? 
  
 
 Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better 
 
 When times were better than this 
 
 We never had to remember when times were better 
 
 When times were better than this 
 
 (When times were better, when times were better than this x2) 
  
 
 And I'm still waiting for a sign 
 
 Or just a win-win situation 
 
 Can I hear it one more time? 
 
 Without the sound of devastation setting in

 When you let me in 
 
 Oh, won't you let me in? 
  
 
 Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better

 We never had to remember when times were better 
 
 When times were better than this 
  
 
 Do you remember, remember when? 
 
 Do you remember, remember when? 
 
 We never had to remember when times were better 
 
 When times were better than this
