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
