[Verse 1:]

Why’d I have to go and be a fool again
Why’d I have to go and make a big thing outta nothing
I didn’t know what I had
‘Til you were gone
It was right in front of me
All along
And now those days, of same old story
Are feelin’ more like faded glory

[Chorus:]

I had it all
I threw it all aside
Thinkin’ there was more there I needed to find
I had it all baby
‘Til you went away
Blue skies, sunshine and butterflies
Those were the conditions that I left behind
Why did I let it go to waste
I had it all

[Verse 2:]

So where are all the fireworks I thought I’d see
I still haven’t found the magic I was lookin’ for that made me leave
Oh, no
I traded in my comfort zone
For empty nights of bein’ alone

[Chorus:]

I had it all
I threw it all aside
Thinkin’ there was more there I needed to find
I had it all baby
‘Til you went away
Blue skies, sunshine and butterflies
Those were the conditions that I left behind
Why did I let it go to waste

[Bridge:]

Why did I believe that a little voice
That led me down the path to this bad choice
Why don’t I listen to the angels
When they sing, oh yeah, they sing
Oh yeah oh

[Chorus:]

I had it all
I threw it all aside
Thinkin’ there was more there I needed to find
I had it all baby
‘Til you went away
Blue skies, sunshine and butterflies
Those were the conditions that I left behind
Why did I let it go to waste
I had it all
Why did I let it go to waste
I had it all
Why’d I have to go and be a fool again
