You Don't Know What You're Missing

Sittin' at the bar I overheard a couple guys

One was complaining

About his life and his wife

And everyday things

Said, his kids were gettin' big

And gettin' hard to handle

The other guy was sippin' whiskey

Wasn't saying a thing

The first guy kept talking for what seemed like forever

Said, I never have money or time

Like I used to

He went on and on, till the second guy finally sat down his whiskey

Looked him straight in the eye and said

Lucky You

You don't know what it feels like livin' this lonely

You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home

You've been talkin' and man, I've been doin' some listenin'

You don't know what you're Missing

'Till it's gone

The second guy said, I used to have all your problems

But hindsight's 20/20 and a fool is blind

So, please excuse me if I have to end our conversation

And forgive me if I can't sympathize

You don't know what it feels like livin' this lonely

You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home

You've been talkin' and man, I've been doin' some listenin'

You don't know what you're missing

'Till it's gone

You don't know what you're missing

'Till it's gone
