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
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
