One

Long hours and a few dyin' flowers

But you never seem to stick around

How could you let something so good

Go to waste and bleed the colours out

You don't know what you got till it's gone

Know when it's right till it's wrong

In search of perfect

When you had it with you all along

You broke her heart down with ease

Now I'm pickin' up every piece

You must be so hard to please

I wish I could say

Thank you for all the mistakes

Thank you for all of the pain

I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain

I'm saying thank you to the one

Who let her get away, away

She gave you love, but it wasn't enough

You had your mind set out on other things

Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price

You let another come and take your place

You don't know what you got till it's gone

Know when it's right till it's wrong

In search of perfect

When you had it with you all along

You broke her heart down with ease

Now I'm pickin' up every piece

You must be so hard to please

I wish I could say

Thank you for all the mistakes

Thank you for all of the pain

I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain

I'm saying thank you to the one

Who let her get away, away

Thank you to the one who caused her heart to break

I‘m thanking you for giving me a soul to save

Thank you to the one who let her get away

You know I wish I could say

Thank you for all the mistakes

Thank you for all of the pain

I guess somebody else's loss is another's

Oh I wish I could say

Thank you for all the mistakes

Thank you for all of the pain

I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain

I'm saying thank you to the one

Who let her get away, away
