It Doesn't Hurt Right Now

[Verse 1: Rodney Crowell]

It doesn't hurt right now

I can breathe again

There's change in the air I can see and hear

It doesn't hurt right now

And I can talk about it

The worst of the shape is the least of my fears

[Verse 2: Jewel]

Could you ever see

Just you and me

Alone in this room

Or does he make it three?

I'm sorry sounds so small

Compared to what's true

I lied to myself

When I lied to you

[Verse 3: Rodney Crowell]

It doesn't hurt right now

I can hear what you had to say

I can forgive but forget, not yet

It doesn't hurt right now

But we both know it will again

Ghosts of the past based on regret

[Verse 4: Jewel]

Needs are like rivers

You can't stop their will

A heart that goes hungry

Demands to be filled

I see that now

I was lonely and I took the bait

But I long to be filled by you, it's never too late

[Verse 5: Rodney Crowell]

It doesn't hurt right now

So what does that say about me

I learned to be known a long time ago

To soften the blow

It doesn't hurt right now

[Outro: Jewel, Rodney Crowell, Both]

I hurt right now

And I know what you want from me

Oh won't you give it to me

I moved out of my heart

A long time ago

A long time ago
