Lyrics
IT AIN'T ABOUT LOSIN'
Ellen Griffith, Copyright 1998
When they ask about you, they think they see through my smile,
But they haven't learned yet, what they see's what they get,
Because it's been a long, long while,
And the spark's too deep inside the blues to light that flame again,
I can't deny the spark won't die, and neither will the yen.
Chorus:
It ain't about losin', it's all about choosin',
I tell myself time and time again.
It ain't about cryin', it ain't about lyin',
It's cuttin' lose from all that might have been.
I ain't pickin' at the scab of an old heart sore,
'Cause it ain't about losin' no more.
When I think about you, I go where the blues have been,
Till it all up and died, t'was a hell of a ride,
I might have bought that ticket again.
But the blues came down and doused that flame, and with it all the doubt,
Although the pilot light's still lit, the flame has flickered out.
Chorus, repeat except for last two lines:
Now your fingerprints are washed off my bathroom door,
'Cause it ain't about losin' no more.
In our favorite old place, I don't see your face these days,
And I'm getting' a clue that my life without you,
Has really come a long, long ways.
And I never miss that cloud of blues that followed you around,
I left some pride and bits of hide on our old battleground.
Chorus, repeat except for last two lines:
I could count the battlescars, but I don't keep score,
'Cause it ain't about losin' no more.
