Long hours and a f ew d ying flowers
But you n ever seem to stick aro und
How could you let s omet hing so good
Go to wast e and bleed the colours ou t?
You don't know what you got 'til it's gon e
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
In search of perfect when you h ad it with you all along
You broke her heart down with ease
Now I'm picking up every piece
You must be so hard to plea se
I wish I could sa y
"Thank you for all the mista kes
Thank you for all of the pa in"
I guess someb ody else's loss is an other's gain
I'm saying t hank you to the one who let her g et away Away
She gave you love but it w asn' t enough
You had your mind set out on other thi ngs
Can't sleep at night now you're p ayin g the price
You let an other come and take your place
You don't know what you got 'til it's gon e
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
In search of perfect when you h ad it with you all along
You broke her heart down with ease
Now I'm picking up every piece
You must be so hard to plea se
I wish I could sa y
"Thank you for all the mista kes
Thank you for all of the pa in"
I guess someb ody else's loss is an other's gain
I'm saying t hank you to the one who let her g et away Away
T hank you to the one who caused her h eart to break
I'm thanking you for giving me a soul to save
T hank you to the one who let her g et away
You know I wish I could say
"Thank you for all the mista kes
Thank you for all of the pa in"
I guess someb ody else's loss is an other's
Oh I wish I could sa y
"Thank you for all the mista kes
Thank you for all of the pa in"
I guess someb ody else's loss is an other's gain
I'm saying t hank you to the one who let her g et away Away
