What I Threw Away

(album: 24 Karat Heartache - 1997)

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
