[Verse 1]
You saw the weakness in me
I saw the kindness in you
Oh, I know I made you laugh
And you couldn't hold back the truth
Oh, I know you made me cry
And I didn't turn out to be
The boy you thought you knew
I guess I didn't quite come through
For you

[Chorus]
But we had a good love, didn't we?
A real love, didn't we?
The tears we cried won't wash it away
We're riding on a tidal wave
But everyone the ocean banks
Is born to break

[Verse 2]
I'm glad we rolled it so free
I got to see the waves on your skin
As the water rushes over me
Oh, it was a perfect swell
But I guess we got in too deep
Oh, I know it is what it is
But you never got the chance to see
The boy I wish that I could be
The promises I could keep
For you
[Chorus]
But we had a good love, didn't we?
A real love, didn't we?
The tears we cried won't wash it away
Yeah, we had a good love, didn't we?
A real love, didn't we?
The tears we cried won't wash it away
We're riding on a tidal wave
But everyone the ocean banks
Is born to break

[Bridge]
Na-na-na, ooh
Na-na-na, ooh
Na-na-na-na, oohm no
Na-na-na, ooh

[Chorus]
We had a good love, didn't we?
A real love, didn't we?
The tears we cried won't wash it away
Yeah, we had a good love, didn't we?
Have a real love, didn't we?
The tears we cried won't wash it away
We're riding on an ocean wave
But everyone the oceans banks
Is born to break
Is born to break
Yeah, we had a good love, didn't we?
