The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You never know just what you've got
Until it's slipping through your fingers
You never know just what you've got
Until it's gone with the wind
And you never miss your shadow
Until there's no one left beside you
You never miss your shadow
Until you're alone
Alone in the dark
You never know just what will break you
Until you're picking up the pieces
Never know just what will break you
Until your world, it falls apart
Never know how small your voice is
Until you're screaming at the silence
Never know how small your voice is
Until you're arguing
Arguing with god
But I saw deaths face today
As he led my friend away
I saw deaths face today
As he cast his shadow over me
I saw deaths face today
As he led my friend away
So I'll ask who I gotta pay
To bring him back
Bring him back to me
Bring him back to me
You never know the words you should've said
Until they're all you're left with
Until the dirt is falling and the guilt, it burns your bones
And we ask the biggest question
Why the fuck did this all happen
Who on earth deserves this
And what the hell do we do now
So we live, like we have lost
And we love, like we are broken
And as the colour leaves the sky we're left in reverence
Of the frailty of it all
