When I Had You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She said: This new dress just ain't me
I need an old t-shirt and my old pair of jeans
She said: I try way too hard these days
And I pray that it ain't too late for love to find a way
What she lost, what it cost
It's all we ever talk about in this bar
I guess everybody's lookin' for something
Just a little something to get you through
A word, a touch, a hand to hold
Piece of heaven on your own
The kind of thing I had when I had you
He said: I can't take off this ring
This thing is all that I have left to my name
He said: She left in '92
And all he knew was it's hard to love someone who don't love you
What he lost, what it cost
It's all we ever talk about in this bar
I guess everybody's lookin' for something
Just a little something to get you through
A word, a touch, a hand to hold
Piece of heaven on your own
The kind of thing I had when I had you
What I couldn't say
What I didn't do
Yeah, I told everyone
But I should'a told you
What I lost, what it cost
'Cause that's all I ever talk about in this bar
I guess everybody's lookin' for something
Just a little something to get you through
A word, a touch, a hand to hold
Piece of heaven on your own
The kind of thing I had when I had you
When I had you
