That's How You Lose Her

In the silence of the moment
You watch the shadows of the rain
Slow dance across the dashboard
Now nothing’s the same
Move around the pieces
Of the hand you got dealt
Think you don’t need it till the clock strikes twelve
You watch her close the door
You let her walk away
Drive off into the dark, like there was nothing to say
You don’t stop her from going
You don’t beg her to stay
That’s how you lose her
That’s how you lose her
There’s gonna come a day when
The truth sinks in
You stumble on a memory of her holding you then
In a sundress on a blanket
Soft kiss on your face
Realize what’s important and you know it’s too late
You watch her close the door
You let her walk away
Drive off into the dark like there was nothing to say
You don’t stop her from going
You don’t beg her to stay
That’s how you lose her
That’s how you lose her
Well you’ll try and you’ll try
But she won’t come back again
It doesn’t matter now, boy
It only mattered when
You watch her close the door
You let her walk away
Drive off into the dark, like there was nothing to say
You don’t stop her from going
You don’t beg her to stay
That’s how you lose her
That’s how you lose her
That’s how you lose her
