That's How You Lose Her

In the silence of the moment

You watch the shadows of the rain

Slow dance across the dashboard

Now nothing's the same

Move around the pieces

Of the hand you got dealt

Think you don't need it

'Til the clock strikes twelve

You watch her close the door

You let her walk away

Drive off into the dark

Like there was nothing to say

You don't stop her from going

You don't beg her to stay

That's how you lose her

That's how you lose her

There's gonna come a day when

The truth sinks in

You stumble on a memory

Of her holding you then

In a sundress on a blanket

Soft kiss on your face

Realize what's important

And you know it's too late

You watch her close the door

You let her walk away

Drive off into the dark

Like there was nothing to say

You don't stop her from going

You don't beg her to stay

That's how you lose her

That's how you lose her

Well you'll try and you'll try

But she won't come back again

It doesn't matter now, boy

It only mattered when

You watch her close the door

You let her walk away

Drive off into the dark

Like there was nothing to say

You don't stop her from going

You don't beg her to stay

That's how you lose her

That's how you lose her

That's how you lose her
