Lyrics

Till Your Well Runs Dry

So you finally woke up by yourself
She’s not there beside you
When you stumbled on that note she wrote
It left a hole inside you
Now it’s time to take a long hard look
At all the reasons why
You don’t miss your water till your well runs dry

You never noticed her unhappiness
You took her love for granted
And now the price of all your selfishness
Has left you empty-handed
She was always there to comfort you
How could you be so blind
Now you find that

You don’t miss your water till your well runs dry
No, you don’t know what love is till it makes you cry
She’s gone and now you know
How much it hurts to hear goodbye
No, you don’t miss your water till your well runs dry

You’re walking through the ruins of a house you used to call a home
And everywhere you look another memory cuts you to the bone
The bed you used to share is haunted by a thousand lies
And there’s nothing you can do to stop the tears that keep falling from your eyes

You don’t miss your water till your well runs dry
No, you don’t know what love is till it makes you cry
She’s gone and now you know
How much it hurts to hear goodbye
No, you don’t miss your water till your well runs dry
