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, ooh

'Cause I didn't know I had it

Till 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

Till I threw it away

Each day my hindsight just gets better, but I know that love is blind

You were the only ray of sunshine I was ever 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

And all I can think of is you, ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause I didn't know I had it

Till 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

Till 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

Till I threw it away, hey, hey

You said that I'd regret the day I let you go

I'd wind up stranded like some washed up gigolo

I'd get more static than a broken radio

You were the right one all along, ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause I didn't know I had it

Till 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

Till I threw it away

No, I didn't know I had it

Till I threw it away
