The Colour Of Leaving

You never know just what youve got
Till its slipping through your fingers
Never know just what youve got
Till its gone with the wind
And you never miss your shadow
Till theres no one left beside you
You never miss your shadow
Till youre alone alone in the dark
You never know just what will break you
Till youre picking up the pieces
Never know just what will break you
Till your world it falls apart
Never know how small your voice is
Till youre screaming at the silence
Never know how small your voice is
Till youre arguing arguing with God
But I saw Deaths face today
As he led my friend away
I saw Deaths face today
As he cast his shadow over me
I saw Deaths face today
As he led my friend away
So Ill ask who I gotta pay
To bring him back
Bring him back to me
Bring him back to me
You never know the words you shouldve said
Until theyre all youre left with
Until the dirt is falling and the guilt it burns your bones
And we ask the biggest question
Why the **** did this all happen
Who on earth deserves this and what the hell do we do now
So we live like we have lost
And we love like we are broken
And as the colour leaves the sky
Were left in reverence of the frailty of it all
