Lyrics
JUST SITTING HERE WITH MY ICE COLD BEER
I FEEL SO BLINDED BY THESE WATERFALLL OF TEARS
I CANT BELIEVE THAT WE JUST THREW IT ALL AWAY
WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL
VERSE
WE TOUCHED THE CLOUDS THEN WE KISSED THE STARS
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WE COULD EVER REACH THAT FAR
I FEEL SO SAD THAT WE JUST THREW IT ALL AWAY
WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL
CHORUS
THEY SAY LOVE LASTS FOREVER
THEY SAY LOVE NEVER DIES BUT OH HOW THEY LIED
WHEN WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL
MIDDLE 8
VERSE
YEARS HAVE PASSED AND I DONT KNOW WHY
HOW YOUNG LOVE CAN PLAY THIS WICKED GAME ON US
YOURE STILL MY LOVE YOU ARE THE APPLE IN MY EYE
WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL
CHORUS
REPEAT VERSE 1
I FEEL SO BLINDED BY THESE WATERFALLL OF TEARS
I CANT BELIEVE THAT WE JUST THREW IT ALL AWAY
WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL
VERSE
WE TOUCHED THE CLOUDS THEN WE KISSED THE STARS
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WE COULD EVER REACH THAT FAR
I FEEL SO SAD THAT WE JUST THREW IT ALL AWAY
WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL
CHORUS
THEY SAY LOVE LASTS FOREVER
THEY SAY LOVE NEVER DIES BUT OH HOW THEY LIED
WHEN WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL
MIDDLE 8
VERSE
YEARS HAVE PASSED AND I DONT KNOW WHY
HOW YOUNG LOVE CAN PLAY THIS WICKED GAME ON US
YOURE STILL MY LOVE YOU ARE THE APPLE IN MY EYE
WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL WE USED TO HAVE IT ALL
CHORUS
