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
