Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't tell you, baby
What went wrong
I can't make you feel
What you felt so long ago
I'll let it show
[Verse 2]
I can't give you back
What's been hurt
Heartaches come and go
And all that's left are the words
I can't let go
[PreChorus]
If we take some time
Think it over, baby
Take some time
Let me know
If you really wanna go
[Chorus]
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I've got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
[Verse 3]
I can't feel the things
That cause you pain
I can't clear my heart
Of your love
It falls like rain
Ain't the same
[Verse 4]
I hear you calling
Far away
Tearing through my soul
I just can't take another day
Who's to blame?
[PreChorus]
If we take some time
Think it over, baby
Take some time
Let me know
If you really wanna go
[Chorus]
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I've got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
[Bridge]
Do you wanna see me begging, baby?
Can't you give me just one more day?
Can't you see my heart's been dragging lately?
I've been looking for the words to say
[Chorus]
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I've got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
[Chorus]
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I've got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
