Why Do We Only Know

Verse 1

It's easy to assume

You'll always have tomorrow

To say all the things you wanna say

How could my heart be so blind?

How do I live with this time?

It makes no sense, just why?

Verse 2

It's easy to ignore

The ones who mean the most now

Take them for granted every day

But how do I let this show?

When all I wanna say is so damn simple

Yet so hard

Chorus

Why do we, why do, we only think

About someone when

Someone's gone?

Why do we, why, why do we only know

How much we care when

When they're gone?

Verse 3

It's easy to deny

The fear that sits inside you

That you might have to say goodbye

If I could just have one more day

I'd make sure you would never

Ever have to doubt

Chorus

Why do we, why do we only think

About someone when

Someone's gone?

Why do we, why, why do we only know

How much we care when

When they're gone?

Bridge

Days pass by in restlessness

Nights that never end

They say it gets all better, darlin'

Guess that is a lie

Chorus

Why do we, why do, we only think

About someone when

Someone's gone?

And I will, and, I'll spend forever

Wishing you were here

By my side

Why do we, why do, why do we only know

How much we care when

When they're gone? (When they're gone)

When they're gone (when they're gone)

When they're gone (when they're gone)

When they're gone
