Thirty big brown boxes lined up by the door Thirty years of my life that you can’t claim no more So now you watch them tumble down Your pretty house of cards This is my repossession, possession of my heart
You say that I threw it all away for nothing You carry on and say I’m just a fool You say, in a month or two, I’ll call you crying Well, don’t hold your breath, the phone won’t ring for you
I’m through with the endless fights and restless nights beside you I’m keeping love inside my heart for someone new And you say that I threw it all away for nothing But the only thing I threw away was you
Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh
I’m through the endless fights, the pain, and all the sorrow I’m keeping the love inside my heart for someone new And you say that I threw it all away for nothing But the only thing I threw away was you Oh, the only thing I threw away was you
