Didn't Know I Had It
It was so easy that I started thinkin' somethin' had to change
The gift of love was somethin' that I thought I'd go out and exchange
I didn't realize how much you meant to me
And now you're locked up with a brand-new set of keys
You said I might regret the day I let you go
I'd wind up stranded like a washed up gigolo
I'd get more static than a broken radio
You were the right one all along, hoo
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
I've been holdin' everything except for love
I wish I had you back today
Oh, I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
Each day my hindsight just gets better
But I know that love is blind (love is blind)
You were the only ray of sunshine
I was ever gonna find, yeah (gonna find)
You were the magic and I made you disappear
Now I'd give everything I own to have you here
You told me I was gonna make a big mistake
I didn't know how many times my heart could break
Now in the middle of the night, I'm still awake
All I can think of is you, hoo-hoo-hoo
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
I've been holdin' everything except for love
I wish I had you back today
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
Now I know in my heart, I threw it away
I've been holdin' onto everything except for love
I wish I had you back today
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
Hey-hey
You said that I'd regret the day I let you go (day I let you go)
I'd wind up stranded like some washed up gigolo (washed up gigolo)
I'd get more static than a broken radio (broken radio)
You were the right one all along, hoo-hoo
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
I've been holdin' everything except for love
I wish I had you back today
'Cause, I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
No, I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
The gift of love was somethin' that I thought I'd go out and exchange
I didn't realize how much you meant to me
And now you're locked up with a brand-new set of keys
You said I might regret the day I let you go
I'd wind up stranded like a washed up gigolo
I'd get more static than a broken radio
You were the right one all along, hoo
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
I've been holdin' everything except for love
I wish I had you back today
Oh, I didn't know I had it

'Til I threw it away
No, I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
