Whatever happened to the promises you made   Those little notions of your breakthrough day   My one mistake was in making some room   Leaving doors unlocked that you pushed through   And taking too much time      Some you lose, and some you give away   Some you lose, and some you give away      I lost some friends out on that empty road   Good, bad together, it's always them you know   'Cause what don't get you, leave a mark on your back   Like the piece that doesn't fit in the jar that cracked   Forgetting what you were told      Some you lose, and some you give away   Some you lose and some you give away      I left some candles at the side of your house   In case you got lost and needed showing out   Maybe we'll pass through L.A. again   Older and bitter with all the charm of friends   It's unlikely if the truth be told      Some you lose, and some you give away   Some you lose, and some you give away
