You Don't Know What You've Got

One phone call wiped out a year
Like waves swept under the pier
Long weeks of impending doom
Stuck in life's waiting room
Always so close to goodbye
Pushed so far over the line
No new light under the moon
Stuck in life's waiting room

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, till it's almost gone
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, till it's over

Another day in the life
You can't look me in the eye
There's nothing left you could say
It wouldn't help anyway
This poison skin you can't touch
Go on without me, my love
No kiss to send you away
It wouldn't help anyway

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, till it's almost gone
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, till it's over

I begged for your forgiveness
I made a deal with God
I took you all for granted
You can write my epilogue

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, till it's almost gone
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, till it's over

And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
