Once I had a love I took for granted
thought that I could trade him for a song
now he's gone and I'm alone I finally understand it,
he's the one was leaving all along
So I thank God for all his lesser angels
here beside me in this bar tonight
cause flannel shirts and blue jeans
and the promises of strangers
make for a less blinding shade of whiteonce I had a little piece of heaven
all I'm trying to do is get it back
I've been saving up my pennies
and counting my blessings
who could ever blame me for that?I never thought that love was worth the fight
now I'm pulling my punches
making up for lost time
The sun has set but I ain't through with trying
I'm walking the straight and narrow
keeping under the street lightschorus
