Two Directions

For the ones who took a different road but never left the brotherhood.

  • family
  • memory
  • resilience

Lyrics

Talking over coffee Morning chasing off the night You were grinning like yourself again For the first time in a while I said, "I'm glad you're doing better... This old world's better with you around..." Then we drove in two directions... Never thinking we were done. Chorus You don't know the hurt... 'Til they're gone. You don't see the last time... 'Til it comes. You plan around tomorrow... Like tomorrow's always there. You don't know the hurt... 'Til they're gone. Verse 2 For years I kept on wondering If I'd missed something that day Searching every word we spoke For something I could change Years have a way of teaching What sorrow never could You can't save a hidden war Just by thinking that you should Chorus You don't know the hurt... 'Til they're gone. You don't see the last time... 'Til it comes. You plan around tomorrow... Like tomorrow's always there. You don't know the hurt... 'Til they're gone. Bridge If I could stand in yesterday... I'd tell that younger man... Love 'em while they're standing... That chance may never come again. Final Chorus You don't know the hurt... 'Til they're gone. You don't see the last time... 'Til it comes. You plan around tomorrow... Like tomorrow's always there. I didn't know the hurt... 'Til you were gone. I didn't know the hurt... 'Til you were gone...
