[English]
It's a shame you ain't wanted when you had itGave my love and you took the shit for granted
And it was me those nights that you didn't come home
Crying to my mama, blowing up your phone
Just wait a little while
Baby you gon' see
That this gon' hurt you
More than it hurt me
One thing that I know 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
That you never know
What you have until it's gone
You can never say I didn't try
And gave my all but I couldn't make you fight
And it was me those nights that you didn't come home
Crying to my mama
Blowing up your phone
Just wait a little while
Baby you gon' see
That this gon' hurt you
More than it hurt me
One thing that I know 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
That you never know
What you have until it's gone
Oh but I can't say enough that it's gon' be me you'll miss no
And I can't say enough that it ain't gon' get no better than this
I'm tryna make you realize
I cried and I cried so many times
But one thing I know
But one thing I know
It's gon' hurt when you go
But one thing that I know babe
One thing that I know 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
That you never know
I guess it's true what people say
That you never know
What you have until it's gone
Gone, gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
