lyrics

I don’t know how I or anyone else
Can learn to pick up all the pieces
And to move on from a mess like this
It’s not the hurting now that hurts the most
I sent you all your things and yet everything here feels yours.

I had vision and we had plans
To stick together no matter the cost
I thought that we were so much stronger
It’s not the hurting now that hurts the most
It’s all the love that we will never share and the life we have lost.

I used to kiss your belly and say
That one day it’d be a home to our babies
And we would argue about their names
It’s not the hurting now that hurts the most
It’s all those named children that I will never know.

I never thought I’d feel like that
Every morning as you stirred I’d say
I love you more than I did yesterday
It’s not the hurting now that hurts the most
It’s not the hurting now that hurts the most
It’s not the hurting now that hurts the most
It’s that I must learn to let you go
And letting go hurts.
