They say you don't know a good thing until it's gone
I found myself leaving when the feeling got too strong
And now I've become the cliché part of our song
And it's a strange place to be when you get what you want
And find it's not what you wanted
Look what this clarity has taken away from me
I know now what you always knew
I had true love in my hands
But let it slip through like sand
I haven't felt the same
Since you
I drove myself to distraction and back again
I realized the fight I fought was one that I would never win
I kept a postcard to show me just where I'd been
But the view was not what I had expected
I was looking for the answers to you
Since you, I've been running
Since you, I've been down
Since you, I've been trying to turn myself around
Since you, I've been sinking
Since you, I've been drowning
Since you, I've been down and out
And crying out darling.
