Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight 'til dawn
Watching the clock 'til you return
Lighting that torch and watching it burn

Now it begins, day after day
This is my life ticking away
Waiting to hear footsteps that say
"Love will appear and this time to stay"

Oh, each time you go
I try to pretend
It's over at last
This time the big hurt will end

Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight 'til dawn
But if you go, come back again
I wonder when, oh, when will it end?

The big hurt
The big hurt
The big hurt
(The big hurt)
(The big hurt)
