1ST VERSE:

everyone in this room is laughing

except for me, which is ironic

since i'm known to be funny

and i picture your face

these days, i don't know how much i can take

i need proof i'm living

not relying on someone who's crossed the line

way too many times

CHORUS:

i've loved and i've lost

more than just trust

said, i've loved and i've lost

ain't that enough?

2ND VERSE:

everyone's gone again, aren't they?

including you too

i'm always left alone

oh, how typical

i've heard excuses, so vauge

new rules in the zone

yet i always fail to follow

so i walk down the road

with no where to go

while others pass in their vehicles

the streetlights flicker in dismay

as my wide eyes attempt to disdain

but how can i?

it always phases through the full moon

the grim pitch sky never fails to glare

only another reminder that i'm not there

my heart is anything but bullet proof

so don't shoot

except you already have, didn't you?

CHORUS:

i've loved and i'be lost

more than just trust

said, i've loved and i've lost

ain't that enough?

3RD VERSE:

your stain, forever rippled on my shoulder

when you layed your head on my chest

next thing i know, you're dead to me

you betrayed me when you left

you swore you'd never go away

so why did you, babe?

i've waited years

it's a crime scene

shedded several tears

all the times i felt guilty

can't believe i used to blame me

now i know, it was all for the better

PRE-CHORUS:

did you know, i'm older now

i've survived this long

after losing everyone i loved

yeah, i've loved and lost

CHORUS:

i've loved and i'be lost

more than just trust

said, i've loved and i've lost

ain't that enough?

BRIDGE:

while everyone is having fun

i'm just reminiscing about the ones

i've loved and lost

i can't move on

no, i can't move on

you see, all along

i've been an open book to a lock

forgiven all those who treated me wrong

but never once thought about me

and what i'd want

i guess that's why i've loved and i've lost

BREAKDOWN:

all this time, i've let everyone slip away

oh so nonchalantly

all these years, that one fear took over

but i can't change how i've loved and lost

CHORUS:

i've loved and i'be lost

more than just trust

said, i've loved and i've lost

ain't that enough?
