Threw It Away

I'm not a pauper or a millionaire

Doin' all my living on a song and a prayer.
I played to win and took the lion's share - so sweet.
Memories of friends upon my wall

When I met you I thought that I had it all

Too young to understand the mighty fall - so easy.
Still I threw it away
just' when I had it
I threw it away

Just when I held it
I threw it away

That precious feeling
I threw it away - just when I really cared.
Conversation in a crowded room

I hear the music but I'm not out of tune.
You never learn until your chance is had - and gone
Threw it away
just when I had it
I threw it away

Oh
but I threw it away
Memories of friends upon my wall

Tellin' you
I threw it away
when I had it
I threw it away

That precious feeling
oh no
