Until It’s Gone

    Artist: Linkin Park

    A fire needs a space to burn

    A breath to build a glow

    I’ve heard it said a thousand times

    But now I know

    That you don’t know what you’ve got

    Oh you don’t know what you’ve got

    No you don’t know what you’ve got

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    I thought I kept you safe and sound

    I thought I made you strong

    But something made me realize

    That I was wrong

    ’Cause finding what you got sometimes

    Means finding it alone

    And I can finally see your light

    When I let go

    ’Cause you don’t know what you’ve got

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    Until it’s gone

    ’Cause you don’t know what you’ve got

    Oh you don’t know what you’ve got

    No you don’t know what you’ve got

    It’s your battle to be fought

    No you don’t know what you’ve got

    ’Til it’s gone

    ’Til it’s gone

    ’Til it’s gone

    Background

    Written by American rock band Linkin Park, the song was originally recorded by the band for their sixth studio album, “The Hunting Party.” The single is also included in the music for the action-adventure video game “Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark,” which was released June 24, 2014. It’s a more mid-tempo track with softer lyrics provided by lead vocalist Chester Bennington, who really shows his vocal versatility. The dreamy and atmospheric sounds are enough to whisk you away but Bennington brings you back down to earth as he belts out their take on a familiar chorus. Lyrically, the song is about a failed relationship Bennington has been in.
