I Had It All And Let It Go

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
