[Verse 1] If you love somebody
Don't let 'em slip through your hands
And float away like sand
If you love somebody
Tell 'em every chance you have
You'll never turn your back
I learned that

[Chorus] Love will break your heart life will break your bones
Every stumbling block is just a stepping stone
And every wrong turn you make is just another way home
But it's still true
You never really love someone until they're gone

[Verse 2] If you're out there searching
For a guiding light to follow
A hand to walk you through tomorrow
If you're out there healing
And feeling kinda shattered
Like you never even mattered
If you're out there

[Chorus] Love will break your heart, life will break your bones
Every stumbling block is just a stepping stone
And every wrong turn you make is just another way home
It's true
You never really love someone until they're gone

[Bridge] We took off on separate runways
Said we'd see each other someday
And time just keeps on passing
Just like traffic
Oh, it's tragic

[Chorus] Love will break your heart, life will break your bones
Every stumbling block is just a stepping stone
And every wrong turn you make is just another way home
It's true
You never really love someone until they're gone
