You never know just what you've got Till it's slipping through your fingers Never know just what you've got Till it's gone with the wind And you never miss your shadow Till there's no one left beside you You never miss your shadow Till you're alone, alone in the dark ♪ You never know just what will break you Till you're picking up the pieces Never know just what will break you Till your world, it falls apart Never know how small your voice is Till you're screaming at the silence Never know how small your voice is Till you're arguing, arguing with God ♪ But I saw Death's face today As he led my friend away I saw Death's face today As he cast his shadow over me I saw Death's face today As he led my friend away So I'll ask who I gotta pay To bring him back, bring him back to me ♪ Bring him back to me ♪ You never know the words you should've said until they're all you're left with Until the dirt is falling and the guilt, it burns your bones And we ask the biggest question: why the fuck did this all happen? Who on Earth deserves this? And what the hell do we do now? So we live like we have lost, and we love like we are broken And as the colour leaves the sky, we're left in reverence of the frailty of it all
