[Verse 1]
It's a shame you ain't wanted when you had it (Had it), hey (Hey)
Gave my love and you took the shit for granted (Granted), hey (Hey)
And it was me those nights that you didn't come home
Cryin' to my momma, blowin' up your phone
Just wait a little while, baby, you gon’ see
That this gon' hurt you more than it hurts me

[Chorus]
One thing that I know (Know) for sure (For sure)
Is you gon' miss me when I go
And it's gon' hurt, babe
When you're all alone
I guess it's true what people say (Say)
You never know what you have until it's gone (Gone)

[Verse 2]
You can never say I didn't try (Try), hey (Hey)
Gave my all, but I couldn't make you fight (Fight), hey (Hey)
And it was me those nights that you didn't come home
Cryin' to my momma, blowin' up your phone
Just wait a little while, baby (While), you gon' see
That this gon' hurt you more than it hurt me

[Chorus]
One thing that I know (Know) for sure (For sure)
Is you gon' miss me when I go
And it's gon' hurt, babe
When you're all alone
I guess it's true (I guess it's true) what people say (Hey)
You never know what you have until it's gone (Gone)

[Bridge]
Ooh, I
And I can't say enough that it's gon' be me you'll miss, no (No)
And I can't say enough that it ain't gon' get no better than this
I'm tryna make you realize (Realize)
I cried and I cried so many times
But one thing I know (Thing I know), it's gon' hurt when you go
But one thing that I know, babe

[Chorus]
The one thing that I know for sure
Is you gon' miss me when I go (Go)
And it's gon' hurt, babe (And it's gon' hurt, babe, woo)
You're all alone
And I guess it's true what people
(I guess it's true what people say, say)
You never know
(And I guess it's true what people say)
I guess it's true what people say (Say)
You never know what you have until it's gone (Gone, gone)

[Outro]
I'm gone, gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
