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 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 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 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 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 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
