Some You Give Away

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
