Lose It All

(Album: Illinois - 2015)

First you gotta learn how not to listen,
When she opens up her heart.
Try your best to make it all about you,
That's the easy part.

Take all your promises, and break 'em.
Stay out late, and come home high.
And by this time you're on your way,
It's gonna be over any day.
And if you've really tried,
You won't have to wonder why.

Take it from a man who knows,
Just how to break a heart.
Listen hard, listen close,
I got it down to an art.
Keep on thinking she won't leave,
Ignore the writing on the wall.
That's how you lose it all.

Let the walls fall down around you.
Let the bills and the dishes stack up to the sky.
Make friends with regret,
And try your damnedest to forget.
And you bet, you never will,
Oh I swear, you never will.

Take it from a man who knows,
Just how to break a heart.
Listen hard, listen close,
I got it down to an art.
Keep on thinking she won't leave,
Ignore the writing on the wall.
That's how you lose it all.

Take it from a man who knows,
Just how to break a heart.
Listen hard, listen close,
I got it down to an art.
Keep on thinking she won't leave,
Ignore the writing on the wall.
That's how you lose it all.

You lose it all.
Take all your promises, and break 'em.
