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 f**k 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
