"I Didn't Know I Could Lose You" lyrics

"I Didn't Know I Could Lose You"

Just when I think I've got it made
My high hopes just start to fade
Rain falls down on my parade like water
Today, I looked into your eyes
And it shocked me when I realized
How blind a man can be in the light of love

I didn't know that I could lose you
I didn't know that I can be so blind
I didn't know that I could lose you
What made me think you would always be mine?

For all the love you gave so free when I could only think of me
An empty heart is all I see remaining
For all the time I did not try
Turned my back and let love die
Tomorrow, I'll be standing where it's raining, girl

I didn't know that I could lose you
I didn't know that I can be so blind
I didn't know that I could lose you
What made me think you would always be mine?

And now I feel so scared to death
I close my eyes and I hold my breath
Stare into the emptiness around you
Now I know it won't be long until you go, and I'm alone
Hung up like some telephone without you

I didn't know that I could lose you
I didn't know that I can be so blind
I didn't know that I could lose you
What made me think you would always be mine?

You let me think you would always be mine
