Why'd I have to go and be a fool again?   Why'd I have to go and make a big thing outta nothing?   I didn't know what I had till you were gone      It was right in front of me all along   And now those days of same old story   Are feelin' more like faded glory      I had it all, I threw it all aside   Thinkin' there was more there I needed to find   I had it all, baby, till 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 leave   Oh no, I traded in my comfort zone for empty nights of bein' alone      I had it all, I threw it all aside   Thinkin' there was more there I needed to find   I had it all, baby, till 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 believe that a 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, oh      I had it all, I threw it all aside   Thinkin' there was more there I needed to find   I had it all, baby, till 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?
