Till I'm Gone



You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
But, baby, I do.
Because I know I’ll never love someone as much as I do you.
So I hold on to your love.
With all of my soul.
Hoping we stay together,
And you never let me go.
Love can make you do crazy things.
And I’m no better.
I gave my all to you,
And I just want to love you forever.
Time just keeps going.
Love never dies.
I ask hopeless questions,
Unhappy with your reply.
You don’t see things like me.
You put on a show.
Your love I never doubted,
Now I just don’t know.
If I must let you go,
I’ll stop holding on,
And be strong.
Tell me you love me…
Tell me you know what you’ve got before I’m gone….
