I heard from a friend that you got a new man
Then I saw a picture of you holding his hand
Only time that I've seen you so happy
Is that night of your surprise birthday
And I never thought I'd be so happy to see you so happy

I know you're the new you, but, back when I knew you
I always thought this day would make me cry
If I was the old me, it would destroy me
But I found the love of my life
You got yours
And I got mine

The past is in the past, the future's in the future
Sometimes memories last, like perfume on a T-shirt
It's like we drew a map of the world
And we both took off in different directions
If nothing else, losing you led me right here
How could I regret it?

I know you're the new you, but, back when I knew you
I always thought this day would make me cry
If I was the old me, it would destroy me
But I found the love of my life
You got yours
And I got mine (Ahh-ah, ahh-ah)

(Ahh-ah, ahh-ah)
(Ahh-ah, ahh-ah) As I'm looking back on life
(Ahh-ah, ahh-ah) Like a slideshow in my mind (In my mind)
(Ahh-ah, ahh-ah) Oh, I think this one's for the archives
(Ahh-ah) 'Cause you and me weren't meant to be
And it's alright

I know you're the new you (New you)
but, back when I knew you (I knew you)
I always thought this day (Oh, I thought)
would make me cry (Yeah, yeah)
If I was the old me (Old me)
it would destroy me (It would destroy me)
But I found the love of my life
(I found the love of my life)
You got yours
And I got mine
