'Til It Does

I never told her that I loved her
But I do
She never cried here on my shoulder
If she was hurting, well I never knew
I never saw her leavin' come
Until the goodbye part was through
Now the page has turned, and the lessons learned
And a blind man sees
It don't happen 'til it does
It don't hit you 'til it lays you flat
You don't hear the lone train
'Til you're tied up on the track
You don't want the way it is
'Til you're wishin' for the way it was
That's how a heartache finds a fool
It don't happen 'til it does
She always wanted me to want her
Now I will
She always needed me to come home
Now I know how that feels
These days I'm seein' things
That only missin' her reveals
Yeah what's wrong is wrong, and what's gone is gone
And it's gone for good
It don't happen 'til it does
It don't hit you 'til it lays you flat
You don't hear the lone train
'Til you're tied up on the track
You don't want the way it is
'Til you're wishin' for the way it was
That's how a heartache finds a fool
It don't happen 'til it does
No you don't see the warning signs
All 'til it's tail lights and a cloud of dust
That's how a heartache finds a fool
It don't happen 'til it does
