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.
This one's for me, this one's for me
Not for anyone else, I need it you see
I threw all I had into the sea
Now I want a little back, this one's for me
Lover I found the mistakes I've made
Will follow me down into my grave
So much has gone by, so many to please
Well this one I'll keep, this one's for me
And you don't even know what you got
'Til it's walking away
Yeah, you don't even know what you had
'Til it laughs in your face
Some other time, some other day
We'll sing this again some other way
So much has gone by, don't know where to start
Well this one I'll keep here in my heart
And you don't even know what you want
'Til it's walking away
Yeah, you don't even know what you had
'Til it laughs in your face
This one's for me, this one's for me
Not for anyone else, I need it you see
I threw all I had into the sea
Now I want a little back, this one's for me
And you don't even know what you've got
'Til it's walking away
Yeah, you don't even know what you had
'Til it laughs in your face
