Why'd I have to go and be a fool again

Why'd I have to go and make a big thing out of 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 feeling more like faded glory

[Chorus]

I had it all, I threw it all aside
Thinkin' there was more out 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

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 live, 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 out 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

Why did I believed that 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

[Chorus]

I had it all, I threw it all aside
Thinkin' there was more out 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...
