There was a minute when
All of my lonely prayers
Were answered by a golden hair
And her hazel eyes
I was "Man overboard"
And she was my serene shore
I've never been there before
Never in all my life
It's funny how she's always wanted me a day
And next, she's gone
Chalk it up to believin'
Everythin' happens for a reason
Except when it doesn't
And this time it didn't
It was what it was, now it is what it isn't
She was my muse, my lightin' fuse
My bitter truth, but not anymore
And she ain't ever comin' back, no
Yeah, so I guess is back
Back to the drawing board
I gotta clean my slate
Wish I could mind-erase
Her sound or touch or taste
She was this fool's gold
My hate was permanent
But she had me pencilled in
So, damn, here I am again
She was so easy come
Oh, but not so easy go, so
Chalk it up to believin'
Everythin' happens for a reason
Except when it doesn't
And this time it didn't
It was what it was, now it is what it isn't
She was my muse, my lightin' fuse
My bitter truth, but not anymore
And she ain't ever comin' back, no
Yeah, so I guess is back
Back to the drawing board
