Lyrics

She wanted me to tell you to leave
She wanted me to let you know that you don't understand her, she just needs some time to breathe
She couldn't have told you better herself cuz she was in love with somebody else
I don't know why I had to be the messenger boy
I guess that somebody was me

Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what you did so wrong
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know why you did it so wrong

She wanted me to tell her my fears
She wanted me to let it all go
I don't know why I said it. I just can't trust anyone, I knew she was true
I never liked the sound of being along much
Just one touch to help with the coldness
Persuasion was a trait the she held in her hand when she took mine, and I understood then

Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what you did so wrong
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know why you did it so wrong

And I did you wrong
You said I was just like him, but that's where you're wrong
He never wrote you a love song
It seemed like no sooner than I got my feet on the ground, the words slipped away
And baby, I hear you
Know what you're saying and I feel it too
You've got something I've never had
The kind of love I can sing about
And you're hearing me now, hear me now
