Intro: verse 1: I can come and go as I want to If I'm late, I don't have to call you It sure feels good to be my own boss I got back control of the TV And my life now I can just be me Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss Chorus: Last night I sifted through the ashes And when the smoke cleared I was stronger than I thought And I'll love another day just slightly damaged Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss verse 2: More hot water runnin' outta my faucet A lot more room in the closet It hurt for a while, but I'm better off, oh yeah I don't feel trapped, I don't feel smothered I don't have to deal with your meddlin mother Losin you ain't a total loss Chorus: Last night I sifted through the ashes And when the smoke cleared I was stronger than I thought And I'll love another day just slightly damaged Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss Chorus: Last night I sifted through the ashes And when the smoke cleared I was stronger than I thought And I'll love another day just slightly damaged Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss
