I Know How To Lose You Lyrics - Mystic Pinball - John Hiatt

I don't know how to keep a good thing 

I've lost it all before 

Had a sweet girl back awhile 

I walked right through her door 

Out of town, out of state 

Out of all she could see through 

Don't think I'll ever find love again 

But I know how to lose you 

Down the hall, she turns off the lights 

I've left before the dawn 

No words said, not one tear shed 

But for awhile you're gone

Then I'm neatly dressed in my emptiness 

Out on the bright avenue 

Don't think I'll ever find love again 

But I know how to lose you 

You know the story, still I hope for myself 

Like a man who plays the lottery, expecting great wealth 

No regard for his mental state, his emotions or his health 

Like this was all happening to some other version of himself 

People see me on the street 

They don't recall your name 

It's like they never seen us before 

How well I hide the pain 

Photos 

And tip my hat and crack a grin 

And remark on a sky so blue 

Don't think I'll ever find love again 

But I know how to lose you 

Don't think I'll ever find love again 

But I know how to lose you
