How was I supposed to know I'd miss you,

When I couldn't kiss you anymore.

How was I supposed to know I'd need you,

When I couldn't reach you on the 'phone.



And I never knew how much I loved you,

Until I couldn't have you.

To tell the selfish truth:

I didn't want you,

Until I couldn't have you.

Until I couldn't have you.



All the times we should have spent together,

I always had better things to do.

Remember when I was your one and only,

And now I'm here lonely, 'cause you found somebody new.



And I never knew how much I loved you,

Until I couldn't have you.

To tell the selfish truth:

I didn't want you,

Until I couldn't have you.

Until I couldn't have you.



Here's to all the words I should have told you,

Like I wanna hold you one more time.

Here's to all the songs I should have sung you,

Instead, I flung you into someone else's arms.



'Cause I never knew how much I loved you,

Until I couldn't have you.

To tell the selfish truth:

I didn't want you,

Until I couldn't have you.

Until I couldn't have you.



Until I couldn't have you.



I didn't want you,

Till I couldn't have you.



I didn't want you, no,

Till I couldn't have you.

Oh until I couldn't have you.



I didn't want you, no,

Till I couldn't have you.



To Fade.
