I got wise after the fact
Now you're gone, I want you back
I keep hoping you'll come through the door
The empty spaces I never felt before

All the little things I didn't treasure then
Well they only get more precious when it ends

This love should last a thousand years
The light is gone without you here
The stars aligned and disappeared
You don't know what you've lost
Until she's gone

I put you last, but you were always first
And I know I'll regret it for all the days that I have left
I'm gonna close my eyes to keep you here
I'm gonna let you go and disappear
Somehow I know I'll see your smile again
And there we'll meet again

This love should last a thousand years
The light is gone without you here

You fall in love but don't know what it is
You're holding on
Just holding on
Until she's gone

All the little things I didn't treasure then
Oh they only get more precious when it ends

This love should last a thousand years
The light is gone without you here
The stars aligned and then disappeared
You don't know what you've lost
Until she's gone
Until she's gone

The stars aligned and then disappeared
You don't know what you've lost
Until she's gone
