'Til It Does
Unveiling Heartache: Lessons Learned in Love
Lyrics
I never told her that I loved her
I never explicitly expressed my love to her
But I do
Nevertheless, I do love her
She never cried here on my shoulder
She never shared her pain with me
If she was hurting, well I never knew
If she was suffering, I was unaware
I never saw her leavin' come,
I didn't anticipate her departure
Until the goodbye part was through
Realized only after the goodbye had occurred
Now the page is turned, and the lessons learned
Now, I've turned the page and learned lessons
And a blind man sees
Even a blind man can see the consequences
It don't happen 'til it does
Realizations don't occur until the events unfold
It don't hit you 'til it lays you flat
The impact isn't felt until it overwhelms you
You don't hear the lone train
You don't notice the approaching difficulty
'Til you're tied up on the track
Until you're in a vulnerable position
You don't want the way it is
You don't appreciate the current situation
'Til you're wishin' for the way it was
Until you long for the past
That's how a heartache finds a fool
Explains how heartache catches someone off guard
It don't happen 'til it does
Realizations about heartbreak occur after it happens
She always wanted me to want her
She desired my desire for her
Now I will
Now, I truly desire her
She always needed me to come home
She always wanted me to return home
Now I know how that feels
Now, I understand the feeling of needing someone to come home to
These days I'm seein' things
Current perspective shaped by missing her
In ways that only missin' her reveals
Seeing things differently due to her absence
Yeah what's wrong is wrong, and what's gone is gone
Recognizing the permanence of what's wrong or gone
And it's gone for good
Acceptance that certain things are gone for good
It don't happen 'til it does
Realizations don't occur until the events unfold (repeated)
It don't hit you 'til it lays you flat
The impact isn't felt until it overwhelms you (repeated)
You don't hear the lone train
You don't notice the approaching difficulty (repeated)
'Til you're tied up on the track
Until you're in a vulnerable position (repeated)
You don't want the way it is
You don't appreciate the current situation (repeated)
'Til you're wishin' for the way it was
Until you long for the past (repeated)
That's how a heartache finds a fool
Explains how heartache catches someone off guard (repeated)
It don't happen 'til it does
Realizations about heartbreak occur after it happens (repeated)
No you don't see the warning signs
You don't perceive the warning signs
All 'til it's tail lights and a cloud of dust
All becomes clear only when it's too late
That's how a heartache finds a fool
Reiterates how heartache finds someone unaware
It don't happen 'til it does
Realizations don't occur until the events unfold (repeated)
