It doesn’t really hurt
Until you figure out
What you’re missing
Where you should have been
Which opportunities are gone
And cannot be replaced

It doesn’t really hurt
Until you’re forced to
Stand right there
Watching from a distance
Knowing you’ll have to
Walk away soon

It doesn’t really hurt
For very long once
You’ve decided to
Turn away, never go back
Drive home to nothing
And stay there

And it doesn’t really
Hurt anymore
Once you’re back
In that quiet place
Safe, where you know
It won’t hurt
