Verse 1:
So busy chasing fire that I missed your flame
So caught up in the lights that I lost my way
Wish I'd made you stay
I only felt your touch when your touch was gone
Didn't know I had your love till you moved it on
Now it's a world away
Bridge 1:
And sometimes we give it up to know it's what we want
I never needed you more the moment I let you go
Chorus:
Shoulda loved you when I had the chance
Wish I'd fought for you like I promised to
Shoulda loved you when I had the chance
Now you're gone all I got's a picture of you
Tag:
And I hate these hands for letting you go
And I can't forgive these arms not holding you close
If I could I could get you back I would
Verse 3:
What happened to the night when the stars blew out
And everything we were when the world was ours
Before it slipped away
Bridge 2:
Sometimes we lose it just so we can bring it home
Never needed you more than the moment I let you go
