Lose It All

At first you gotta learn how not to listen
 When she opens up her heart
 You try your best to make it all about you
 Yeah that's the easy part
 ♪
 Take all your promises and break them
 Stay out late and come home high
 By this time you're on your way
 It's gonna be over any day
 And if you really try you won't have to wonder why
 Take it from a man who knows
 Just how to break a heart
 Listen hard and listen close
 I got it down to an art
 Keep on thinkin' 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
 Try your damnedest to forget
 And you bet you never will
 Oh I swear you never will, yeah
 Take it from a man who knows
 Just how to break a heart
 Listen hard and listen close
 I got it down to an art
 Keep on thinkin' she won't leave
 Ignore the writing on the wall
 That's how you lose it all, yeah
