I started to write you a letter the other day   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   And 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 thought to myself      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   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...      What have I got to lose   Cause I've already come this far   And look what I've got to win   If you would only search my heart and see what's deep inside      Don't want to go to sleep cause I don't want to dream   I always wake up with tears it seems   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   I've lost the one thing missing from my life   But look what I've got to win   If only I can get you to hear my heart   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   If you'll only listen, listen to my heart
