What You Lost

[instrumental introduction] [Verse 1] You found yourself a new man, babe, Left me standing in the rain, Said you'd found a brighter future, Left me drowning in my pain. But honey, let me tell you, What you lost won't be the same. [Chorus] Oh, you traded love for shiny things, Swapped our nights for diamond rings, But what you lost, girl, you won't regain, Hope he's worth the price of pain. Yeah, wish you well with your new plan, But you'll never know, you'll never understand. [Verse 2] You left behind our memories, All the laughter, all the fights, For a man with fancy promises, And dreams in neon lights. But babe, when darkness finds you, You'll recall those better nights. [Chorus] Oh, you traded love for shiny things, Swapped our nights for diamond rings, But what you lost, girl, you won't regain, Hope he's worth the price of pain. Yeah, wish you well with your new plan, But you'll never know, you'll never understand. [Bridge] When the shine starts fading, And his love grows cold, Remember what you left behind, All the stories left untold. Yeah, I'll be here, singing, The blues of what you lost, you know. [instrumental pausa] [Bridge] When the shine starts fading, And his love grows cold, Remember what you left behind, All the stories left untold. Yeah, I'll be here, singing, The blues of what you lost, you know.
