APPRECIATE
I would say, it’s the other way
Nothing comes to those who wait for it
No talk of it, or signs to come
It’s usually behind an open door
You just never broke that lock before
We don’t appreciate what we’ve got
Till it’s gone, till it’s out of sight
We don’t appreciate what we’ve got
Till it’s gone...
There’s someone, in your life today
Who pains you to say to say this to their face
But you need them now like you did before
Without them you would know another fate
Let’s just hope it’s not too late
We don’t appreciate what we’ve got
Till it’s gone, till it’s out of sight
We don’t appreciate what we’ve got
Till it’s gone, till it’s gone, till it’s gone...
Are we lost in ourselves?
We don’t appreciate what we’ve got
Till it’s gone, till it’s out of sight
We don’t appreciate what we’ve got
Till it’s gone...
We don’t appreciate
We don’t love any more
We don’t say what we mean
Cos there’s too much that we’ve seen
Yet we’re blind to the world
We live blind in a world of our own
