All the moves I was afraid to make

All the chances that I didn't take

Oh I cried out loud when they were gone



There was so much I should have said

For some reason I chose silence instead

And I cried out loud when you were gone



I was movin' in the wrong direction

Now I'm tryin' to get away from affection

All the years I was too blind to see

That a friend was standin' next to me



Why do people always start to appreciate

When it's gone, when it's done, when it's too late

People always start to appreciate

When it's gone when it's too late

When it's gone when it's too late

When it's gone when it's too late



Life can be much more than it seems

Try to seize your day and live your dreams

'cause you will cry out loud

when they are gone



When do we stop to take it all for granted

it's always gone before we understand it

we don't take care of us until we're torn

we don't take care of friends until they're gone



Why do people always start to appreciate

When it's gone, when it's done, when it's too late

People always start to appreciate

When it's gone when it's too late

When it's gone then it's too late



Try to realize what is fake what is true

try to make up your mind who's important to you

then you'll never know the feelin' of sorrow

for all that is gone



Why do people always start to appreciate

When it's gone, when it's done, when it's too late

People always start to appreciate

When it's gone when it's too late

When it's gone then it's too late



Why do people always start to appreciate

When it's gone, when it's done, when it's too late

People always start to appreciate

When it's gone then it's too late
