Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't know what you've got till it's gone
The hint of the scent then it's gone
Look at the state of you
You're all fingers & thumbs
So who's your latest flame?
Drivin' 'em wild in the fast lane
I won't say I told you so
But the boy has no shame (No shame)
[Verse 2]
Once when my hands were full
We were double or quits then some
Nothin' at all to show for a love so precious
[Verse 3]
Gone and blown it all
How can you say it doesn't matter much to me?
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
Gone and blown it all
And then you say this can't be happenin' to me
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
[Verse 4]
Don't know what you got till it's gone
The thrill of the chase, then it's gone
Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on
And life is a wonderful thing
When you're hummin' the words to a love song
Do what you wanna do
Be who you want to be
[Verse 5]
When I'm in your arms, I'm strong
There's nowhere I'd rather be
We shine for liberty
Life and the pursuit of pleasure
[Verse 6]
Gone and blown it all
How can you say it doesn't matter much to me?
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
Gone and blown it all
And then you say this isn't happenin' to me
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
[Verse 7]
Lonely, oh-ooh, whoa
Lonely, oh-ooh, whoa
[Verse 8]
Here I do walk
Fast amongst the flowers
On a cold summer's day
On a cold summer's day
Fast amongst the flowers
On a cold summer's day
I never said that it
I never said that it wouldn't work out
[Verse 9]
Gone and blown it all
How can you say it doesn't matter much to me?
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
How the days have flown
Too few and fast
They said it wasn't meant to last
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
[Verse 10]
How the days have flown
Said it wouldn't last
Much too much to ask
Your heart is made of glass
Love will save the day
See it blow away
Like a shattered heart
A shattered heart in love's debris
[Verse 11]
Gone and blown it all
How can you say it doesn't matter much to me?
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
