It's a classic "me" mistake

Someone gives me love and I throw it all away

Tell me have I gone insane?

Talkin' to myself but I don't know what to say

'Cause you let go

And now I'm holdin' on

I guess you don't know what you got

Until it's gone

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

Just to find out you really love someone

Oh-oh, and I do, and I do, and I do, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

Just to find out you really love someone

Oh-oh, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

So don't tell me it's too late

Hearts are made to bend, baby, please don't let me break, yeah

I knew I should've stayed

'Cause now you're movin' on and I don't know what to say

'Cause you let go (Yeah, you let go)

And now I'm holdin' on (I'm holdin' on)

I guess you don't know what you got

Until it's gone

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

Just to find out you really love someone

Oh-oh, and I do, and I do, and I do, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

Just to find out you really love someone

Oh-oh, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

Just to find out you really love someone

Oh-oh, and I do, and I do, and I do, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

Just to find out you really love someone

Oh-oh, yeah

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody

Ooh

Sometimes you gotta lose some

You gotta lose somebody
