I Know How to Lose You Songtext
von John Hiatt

I don′t know how to keep a good thing
I've lost it all before
Had a sweet girl back a while
I walked right through her door
Out of town, out of state
Out of all she could see through

Don′t think I'll ever find love again
But I know how to lose you

Down the hall, she turns off the lights
I've left before the dawn
No words said, not one tear shed
But for a while, you′re gone
Then I′m neatly dressed in my emptiness
Out on the bright avenue

Don't think I′ll ever find love again
But I know how to lose you


You know the story, still I hope for myself
Like a man who plays the lottery
Expecting great wealth
No regard for his mental state
His emotions or his health
Like this was all happening
To some other version of himself

People see me on the street
They don't recall your name
It′s like they never seen us before
How well I hide the pain
And tip my hat and crack a grin
And remark on a sky so blue

Don't think I′ll ever find love again
But I know how to lose you
Don't think I'll ever find love again
But I know how to lose you
