One phone call wiped out a year
Like waves swept under the pier
Long weeks of impending doom
Stuck in life´s waiting room

Always so close to goodbye
Pushed so far over the line
No new light under the moon
Stuck in life´s waiting room

You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got, till it´s almost gone
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got, till it´s over

Another day in the life
You can´t look me in the eye
There´s nothing left you could say

It wouldn´t help anyway
This poison skin you can´t touch
Go on without me, my love
No kiss to send you away
It wouldn´t help anyway

You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got, till it´s almost gone
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got, till it´s over

I begged for your forgiveness
I made a deal with God

I took you all for granted
You can write my epilogue

You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got, till it´s almost gone
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got
You don´t know what you´ve got, till it´s over

And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
