Before It's Gone

Didn't know what I needed 'til I saw it
Didn't know what I loved 'til I held it close
Didn't know what to sing until I heard the song
Never know what I have until it's gone

Didn't know how to cry until I broke it
Didn't know how to care while it was in my hand
Didn't know where to start 'til it was done
Or what I had 'til it was gone

Oh, when it's gone
The bottle's empty, poured out right onto the ground
Just hang onto what matters the most
'Cause you never know just how long it'll be around

You ever feel like you're takin' it for granted
Forgetting just how precious and how rare
Live within the moment while it's there

'Cause oh, when it's gone
The promise was broken, left outside in the rain
Just hang onto what matters the most
Because without it, things will never be the same

Oh, when it's gone
The bottle's empty, poured out right onto the ground
Just hang onto what matters the most
'Cause you never know just how long it'll be around

Gotta learn how to love before you lose it
Better learn how to hold it before it drops
You better learn how to walk before you run
And realize what you've got before it's gone
