Last night I saw you as I stood in the rain
Brought me right back to that feeling again.
I tried to hide the tears in my eyes
But you didn't see as you walked on by.
Tried to forget ya, I tried to move on.
But the deeper I'm feeling, the harder I fall.
Nothing else matters at all. Let me tell you.
You don't know what love is till you lose it.
You don't know what you've got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark and takes you and tears you apart.
You don't know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Till it breaks your heart.
Sometimes I think back when our love was new.
The crazy things that we used to do.
How could love that's so right turn to something so wrong
Still can't believe that you're really gone.
Wish I could stop all these thoughts in my head
Wish I could take back the words that I said
It's a lesson I'll never forget. Let me tell you.
You don't know what love is till you lose it.
You don't know what you've got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark. Takes you and tears you apart.
You don't know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Love has no season, no beginning nor end.
No rhyme or reason, to the way the story ends.
No way of knowing how a broken heart mends.
Still we keep fallin', time and time again.
You don't know what love is till you lose it.
You don't know what you've got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark. Takes you and tears you apart.
You don't know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Till it breaks your heart. Ah ooh. Till it breaks your heart.
