If you love somebody

Don't let 'em slip through your hands

And float away like sand

If you love somebody

Tell 'em every chance you have

You'll never turn your back

I learned that

Love will break your heart life will break your bones

Every stumbling block is just a stepping stone

And every wrong turn you make is just another way home

But it's still true

You never really love someone until they're gone

If you're out there searching

For a guiding light to follow

A hand to walk you through tomorrow

If you're out there healing

And feeling kinda shattered

Like you never even mattered

If you're out there

Love will break your heart, life will break your bones

Every stumbling block is just a stepping stone

And every wrong turn you make is just another way home

It's true

You never really love someone until they're gone

We took off on separate runways

Said we'd see each other someday

And time just keeps on passing

Just like traffic

Oh, it's tragic

Love will break your heart, life will break your bones

Every stumbling block is just a stepping stone

And every wrong turn you make is just another way home

It's true

You never really love someone until they're gone
