I don't know how to keep a good thing I've lost it all before Had a sweet girl back awhile I walked right through her door Out of town, out of state Out of all she could see through Don't think I'll ever find love again But I know how to lose you Down the hall, she turns off the lights I left before the dawn No word said, not one tear shed But for a while you're gone Then I'm neatly dressed, in my emptiness Out on the bright avenue Don't think I'll ever find love again But I know how to lose you You know the story, still I hope for myself Like a man who plays the lottery expecting great wealth No regard for his mental state, his emotions or his health Like this was all happening to some other version of himself People see me on the street They don't recall your name It's like they've never seen us before How well I hide the pain And tip my hat, and crack a grin And remark on a sky so blue Don't think I'll ever find love again But I know how to lose you Don't think I'll ever find love again But I know how to lose you
