Blessid Union of Souls › Lyrics › What Have I Got to Lose

I started to write you a letter the other day
I didn't know exactly what I was going to say
And at the last minute I threw it away
'Cause I didn't think you'd read it anyway

'Cause see, I'm the kind of man who's glass is 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
And look what I've got to win
If you would only hear my heart

Yesterday I actually tried calling
But that was after six days and 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
And look what I've got to win
If 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 want to dream
I always wake up with tears it seems
But I can't blame it on you so it must be me
I'll beg for forgiveness if that's what I need to do

'Cause I ain't got nothing to lose, no
(What have I got to lose)
'Cause I've lost the one thing missing from my life
But look what I've got to win
(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?
(What have I got to lose?)
When all I've lost is the everything that I need
And look what I've got to win
(Look what I've got to win)
If you'll only listen, listen, listen to my heart

(What have I got to lose?)
I ain't got nothing to lose
(Look what I've got to win)
Listen, listen to my heart, yeah
I ain't got nothing to lose
