Threw It All Away - Anthony Hamilton

I once held her in my arms She said she would always stay But I must have been mad Never knew what I had I threw it all away I threw it all away Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand And rivers that ran through every day But what did I do? I let it slip through I threw it all away I threw it all away Love is all there is It makes the world go 'round Love and only love, it can't be denied No matter what you think about it You won't be able to do without it Take a tip from one who's tried So if you find someone who gives you all of her love Take it to your heart, don't let it stray One thing for sure, there ain't no cure If you throw it all away If you throw it all away

So here's the story of my love, it Never fails to keep me up at night I wonder, while you slumber, why you never slipped away And I can see it in your eyes, you Were the apple of mine, but Now I miss it every night 'Cause I threw my love away Threw my love away 'Cause I threw my love away Threw my love, away Tale it spins and so it goes Love will sink you like a stone And when you find your Dixie cup I hope it's filling up and spillin' over And over, and over 'Til the next one down the line I been thinking often, I been feeling soft Only half involved, only half a heart I been dreaming long for another start Thought you'd understand when I fell apart Are you saying You are the one? I don't even like me that much That much 'Cause I threw my love away Threw my love away 'Cause I threw my love away Threw my love, away

You've stripped me down, the layers fall like rain It's over now, just innocence and instinct still remain You watched me while I slowly disappeared I reached for you to save me, you were frozen in your fear Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Circling the pain inside my soul I reached inside your silence to steal what you won't show I tried to find the answers in my fears But what was found is lost again as soon as it appeared Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away I'm breaking I can't do this on my own Can you hear me screaming out? Am I all alone? You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away

Need I say I love you? Need I say I care? Need I say that emotions, Are something we don't share? I don't want to be sitting here, Trying to deceive you Cuz you know I know baby That I don't wanna go We can not live together We can not live apart And that's the situation We've known it from the start Every time that I look at you, I can see the future Cuz you know I know baby That I don't wanna go Just throwing it all away Throwing it all away Is there nothing that I can say, To make you change your mind? I watch the world go round & round And see mine turnin' upside down Throwing it all away Now who will light up your darkness? And who will hold your hand? Who will find you the answers, When you don't understand? Why should I have to be the one, Who has to convince you? Cuz you know I know baby, That I don't wanna go Then some day you'll be sorry Some day when you're free Memories will remind you, That our love was meant to be But late at night when you call my name, The only sound you'll hear Is the sound of your voice calling, Calling out to me Just throwing it all away Throwing it all away And there's nothing that I can say Hey... We're throwing it all away Just a throwing it all away Just a throwing it all away
