It Won’t Hurt Soon (But It Sure Hurts Now)

[Verse 1]
And, ooh, by the time I get to you
Strung out on the last of what got me through
A winter's day and maple leaves
The wind off the lake and a cold breeze
And what gate shimmers in my mind's eye?
Will a hand stretch across the sky?
Some big promise to appease us
Half empty bottles and a porcelain Jesus

[Chorus]
And, oh, it won't hurt soon, but it sure hurts now
It won't hurt soon, but it sure hurts now
Who wants to stick around forever anyhow?

[Verse 2]
And my mind's on the run
I can't remember what I did before things came undone
It was a miracle at the start
Well, you believed in that stuff before you closed your heart

[Chorus]
And, oh, it won't hurt soon, but it sure hurts now
It won't hurt soon, but it sure hurts now
Nothing lasts forever anyhow

[Outro]
It won't hurt soon, but it sure hurts now
It won't hurt soon, but it sure hurts now
It won't hurt soon, but it sure hurts now
It won't hurt soon, but it sure hurts now
