I had it all and let it go
I´m a man who´s come to know
The loving warmth that he remembers
As having come from dying embers
The images that I recall

Perhaps they don´t resemble yours at all
I spoke too loud, I ran too fast
Until you gave up at last
And it hurts to know
I had it all and let it go

Now all our friends know that you´re gone
They´re telling me, life must go on
They ask me out and I say never
I have no interest whatsoever
Cause I´m a bore who may as well
Stay locked inside his dreary prison cell
The perfect place for such a fool
Without you my life is cruel
And it hurts to know
I had it all and let it go

I guess I´ll learn to live again

And I´ll find a way to cope and then
As if it wasn´t all about you
I´ll meet the world again without you
Those dizzy heights, I call it bliss
And now to cope is all there is
Oh god, dear god, I miss you baby
It hurts to know
I had it all and let it go
