[Verse 1: Rodney Crowell]
It doesn't hurt right now
I can breathe again
There's change in the air I can see and hear
It doesn't hurt right now
And I can talk about it
The worst of the shape is the least of my fears

[Verse 2: Jewel]
Could you ever see
Just you and me
Alone in this room
Or does he make it three?
I'm sorry sounds so small
Compared to what's true
I lied to myself
When I lied to you

[Verse 3: Rodney Crowell]
It doesn't hurt right now
I can hear what you had to say
I can forgive but forget, not yet
It doesn't hurt right now
But we both know it will again
Ghosts of the past based on regret
[Verse 4: Jewel]
Needs are like rivers
You can't stop their will
A heart that goes hungry
Demands to be filled
I see that now
I was lonely and I took the bait
But I long to be filled by you, it's never too late

[Verse 5: Rodney Crowell]
It doesn't hurt right now
So what does that say about me
I learned to be known a long time ago
To soften the blow
It doesn't hurt right now

[Outro: Jewel, Rodney Crowell, Both]
I hurt right now
And I know what you want from me
Oh won't you give it to me
I moved out of my heart
A long time ago
A long time ago
