[Verse 1] The way I used to cling to you You said I was despicable Now I’m gone, and you Can’t touch what you had If you slipped off that line of love and hate I would’ve caught you ‘fore you hit the ground of fate Now you gotta be that much stronger Made your life that much harder Maybe you’re happy now, but you’re missing One day, you’ll see what you’ve been dismissing [Pre-Chorus] Actions speak louder than words, too bad Now you’re living with the aftermath You’ve been searching Something’s missing You’ve been robbed And you—your own villain [Chorus – Repeat throughout] It’s gone, everything you wanted, you had So long to the longest love you ever had The worst part of this aftermath You don’t know what you lost Like you never knew what you had Oh baby, it’s just too damn bad Who could’ve seen this coming to pass? All you had to do was ask But now we only talk about what you had [Verse 2] You had a net for your lonely nights You had faith when the truth wasn’t right You had real love—there’d be no such thing as sad But now we only talk about what you had Check your closet—missing clothes Check the bed—missing warmth Someone gave you a new cover Someone dressed you for the storm But one day, you'll search again Look in the mirror, wonder where it went Then flash—memory hits you bad Cause you’re talking ‘bout what you had [Bridge] You’ve been arrested by you You’ve been sentenced by you You’ve been exiled from me And you’re the one who threw the key [Repeat Chorus] [Breakdown] I wish you'd set yourself free But you smile like you're torturing me I won’t visit your cell no more I won’t refill your world no more I’ll let you see what’s in store But you’ll ignore this warning, like before [Outro – Spoken or Melodic Layer] People realize what they have Right after it becomes what they had (x2) [Final Chorus — with slight twist for closure] It’s gone, everything you wanted, you had So long to the longest love you ever had The worst part of this aftermath You don’t know what you lost Like you never knew what you had Oh baby, it’s just too damn bad You had a net for your lonely nights I had faith in you, but you fed me lies You had real love, could’ve never been sad But now we only talk about what you had [Final Line] Can’t believe you had the nerve to say that Even stalkers only talk about what they had
