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...
Story behind the song
To my friend, gone too soon.
