But at least I left with every piece of this heart of mine

I'm walking a-way a winner Walking a-way from a losing game.

With my pride in-tact and my vision back I can say
Am F G
I know where I'm going and I know I'll be al-right.

Now I know what I can live with-out.

I'm heading down the right road now
