The Big Hurt

[Verse 1]
Now, it begins, now, that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight 'til dawn
Watching that clock 'til you return
Lighting that torch and watching it burn

[Verse 2]
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"

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

[Verse 3]
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?

[Outro]
The big hurt
The big hurt
The big hurt
