How was I supposed to know I'd miss you,
When I couldn't kiss you anymore.
How was I supposed to know I'd need you,
When I couldn't reach you on the 'phone.

And I never knew how much I loved you,
Until I couldn't have you.
To tell the selfish truth:
I didn't want you,
Until I couldn't have you.
Until I couldn't have you.

All the times we should have spent together,
I always had better things to do.
Remember when I was your one and only,
And now I'm here lonely, 'cause you found somebody new.

And I never knew how much I loved you,
Until I couldn't have you.
To tell the selfish truth:
I didn't want you,
Until I couldn't have you.
Until I couldn't have you.

Here's to all the words I should have told you,
Like I wanna hold you one more time.
Here's to all the songs I should have sung you,
Instead, I flung you into someone else's arms.

'Cause I never knew how much I loved you,
Until I couldn't have you.
To tell the selfish truth:
I didn't want you,
Until I couldn't have you.
Until I couldn't have you.

Until I couldn't have you.

I didn't want you,
Till I couldn't have you.

I didn't want you, no,
Till I couldn't have you.
Oh until I couldn't have you.

I didn't want you, no,
Till I couldn't have you.
