Anything Took Everything Lyrics

Yeah, the only thing that meant anything
Took everything, turned it sideways

Slammed door on an empty room
Did all I know how to do
But long legs and a short fuse just walked out on me
Her hanging on had enough
Left me in a cloud of dust
What it is ain't what it was, guess it wasn't meant to be

Yeah, the upside of being down and out
Is that there's nothing left for me to worry 'bout

'Cause the only thing that meant anything
Took everything, turned it sideways
Down on my luck, can't get back up
'Cause when your first thing says the last thing
That your heart wants to hear
Your heart spells it out, says it loud and clear
Yeah, the only thing that meant anything
Took everything

Pretty eyes across the room
Ain't the shade I'm used to
A corner booth talkin'-to ain't what I need today
So If she comes walkin' my way
Tell her I'm just here to drink

'Cause the only thing that meant anything
Took everything, turned it sideways
Down on my luck, can't get back up
'Cause when your first thing says the last thing
That your heart wants to hear
And your heart spells it out, says it loud and clear
Yeah, the only thing that meant anything
Took everything

Right down to the hard stuff
When she took my heart and she tore it up
I'm all in on a bad hand
I'm a third strike on a second chance
I'm down on my luck
I can't get back up

'Cause when your first thing says the last thing
That your heart wants to hear
And your heart spells it out, says it loud and clear
Yeah, the only thing that meant anything
Took everything
Mmm-mmm, everything
