What I Threw Away
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 was so innocent she didn't know where to start
Cause all she new about love was what she could give from the heart
I was the guilty one I thought I needed much more
So I secretly drifted to another woman's door
I couldn't have done it better if I had wanted to get it wrong
I lost what might have been a happy home
I made a bad decision and I found out to late
Because she came by and showed me just what I threw away
She didn't ring the door bell she just walked right on in
I thought it was a new beginning I didn't know it was the end
She lit the candle and then she poured us some wine
Then she loved me like I never been loved in my time
She couldn't have done it better if she'd had wanted to stay
Without one word she told me everything she had to say
I made a bad decision and I found out to late
She came by and showed me just what I threw away
She was so innocent she didn't know where to start
Cause all she new about love was what she could give from the heart
I made a bad decision and I found out to late
She came by and showed me just what I threw away
