Wish I could say that I didn't know
|
If we held on too tight or just let it all go
|
Thinking maybe we'd profit from time spent alone
|
We must have been crazy back then
|
|
I remember the words you said as you left
|
What you've done I could never forgive or forget
|
But inside I was hoping, despite all your regret
|
That maybe we'd finish as friends
|
|
CHORUS
|
I guess it's all true, you know what they say
|
You don't know what you've got 'till you've thrown it away
|
When nothing is ventured, nothing is gained
|
But some things cannot be so easily explained
|
|
Looking back now it's so easy to see
|
If I'd just stood by you and you'd just stood by me
|
That together we'd weather all life's stormy seas
|
With each other for a captain and crew
|
|
And for all of that time we've invested in love
|
You might have thought we could rise above all of this stuff
|
But what we got in return wasn't nearly enough
|
To keep us from singing the blues
|
|
I guess it's all true, you know what they say
|
You don't know what it's worth 'till you've thrown it away
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
They say all wounds are healed by the graces of time
|
And that lonely is only a state of mind
|
Still I wish you were walking right here by my side
|
To have and to hold 'till the day that I die
|
|
I guess it's all true, you know what they say
|
You don't know what you've got 'till you've thrown it away
|
