[Verse 1]
Walking alone in the city, hearing the sound of the rain
I thought that I saw you on fifth street, I suddenly missed you again
Remember the night in the taxi? You said you were moving away
Holding your hand in the backseat, wish could call you and say

[Pre-Chorus]
There are things that I could’ve done better
Things I wish I had said, but I never
Got the chance, now I know that the moment is gone
But life goes on
[Chorus]
Every little word you said, you know I meant it
Every little touch you gave, you know I felt it
We were only young
Wе were only young
Heavy on my hеart, I wish it never ended
Even at the start, I didn’t understand that
You were moving on
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone

[Post-Chorus]
Gone, gone
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s—

[Verse 2]
I know if I make it to eighty, I’ll always remember your name
‘Cause you came along and changed me, I guess what I’m trying to say is

[Pre-Chorus]
There are things that I could’ve done better
Things I wish I had said, but I never
Got the chance, now I know that the moment is gone
But life goes on

[Chorus]

Every little word you said, you know I meant it
Every little touch you gave, you know I felt it
We were only young
We were only young
Heavy on my heart, I wish it never ended
Even at the start, I didn’t understand that
You were moving on
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone

[Post-Chorus]
Gone, gone
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
Gone, gone
We were only young

[Chorus]
Every little word you said, you know I meant it
Every little touch you gave, you know I felt it
We were only young
We were only young
Heavy on my heart, I wish it never ended
Even at the start, I didn’t understand that
You were moving on
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone

[Post-Chorus]
Gone, gone
