I started to write you a letter the other day
I didn't know exactly what I was gonna say
And at the last minute I threw it away
'Cause I didn't know think you'd read it anyway
'Cause see, I'm the kind of man whose glass if half-full
But I'm a bit torn from the strings you pulled
And since I already felt a bit abused
I just thought to myself, I thought to myself
Oh, what have I got to lose?
'Cause I can't fall much further down, oh
Look what I've got to win
If you would only hear my heart, yeah
Yesterday I actually tried calling
But that was after six days, six nights of stalling
And I thought about everything that we've been through
All the different places that we went to, I never thought we'd go there
But the times we hurt each other, sometimes we meant to
Trying to make up with flowers that I sent you
But now I'm at the crossroads and it's time to choose
And I guess I just figured what the hell
Oh, what have I got to lose?
'Cause I've already come this far, yes
Look what I have to win
You would only search my heart and see what's deep inside
See, I don't wanna go to sleep 'cause I, I don't wanna dream
I always wake up with tears it seems
I can't blame it on you so I must be me
I'll beg for forgiveness if that's what I need to do
'Cause I ain't got nothing to lose
I've lost the only thing missing from my life
Look what I've got to win
If only I can get you to hear my heart
And see what it's saying to you
What have I got to lose, baby?
When all I've lost is everything that I need
And look what I've got to win
If you'll only listen, listen, listen to my heart
What have I got to lose?
Look what I've got to win
What have I got to lose?
