"Lose It All" lyrics - BRETT ELDREDGE

First you gotta learn how not to listen
When she opens up her heart
Try your best to make it all about you
That's the easy part

Take all your promises, and break 'em
Stay out late, and come home high
And by this time you're on your way
It's gonna be over any day
And if you've really tried
You won't have to wonder why

Take it from a man who knows
Just how to break a heart
Listen hard, and listen close
I got it down to an art
Keep on thinkin' she won't leave
Ignore the writing on the wall
That's how you lose it all

Let the walls fall down around you
Let the bills and the dishes stack up to the sky
Make friends with regret
And try your damnedest to forget
And you bet, you never will
Oh I swear, you never will

Take it from a man who knows
Just how to break a heart
Listen hard, and listen close
I got it down to an art
Keep on thinkin' she won't leave
Ignore the writing on the wall
That's how you lose it all

Take it from a man who knows
Just how to break a heart
Listen hard, and listen close
I got it down to an art
Keep on thinkin' she won't leave
Ignore the writing on the wall
That's how you lose it all

You lose it all
Take all your promises, and break 'em
