Didn't Know I Had It Lyrics

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
