(Rodney Crowell)
- It doesn't hurt right now
- I can breathe again
- There's change in the air I can see and hear
- It doesn't hurt right now
- And I can talk about it
- The worst of the shape is the least of my fears
(Jewel)
- Could you ever see
- Just you and me
- Alone in this room
- Or does he make it three?
- I'm sorry sounds so small
- Compared to what's true
- I lied to myself
- When I lied to you
(Rodney Crowell)
- It doesn't hurt right now
- I can hear what you had to say
- I can forgive but forget not yet
- It doesn't hurt right now
- But we both know it will again
- Ghosts of the past based on regret
(Jewel)
- Needs are like rivers
- You can't stop their will
- A heart that goes hungry
- Demands to be filled
- I see that now
- I was lonely and I took the bait
- But I long to be filled by you, it's never too late
(Rodney Crowell)
- It doesn't hurt right now
- So what does that say about me
- I learned to be known a long time ago
- To soften the blow
- It doesn't hurt right now
(Jewel)
- I hurt right now
(Rodney Crowell)
- And I know what you want from me
(Jewel)
- Oh, won't you give it to me
(Rodney Crowell)
- I moved out of my heart
(Jewel & Rodney Crowell)
- A long time ago
(Jewel)
- Long time ago

“I’ve been a big fan of Rodney’s and we finally got together to write. He came up with that first verse and we liked the idea of this being a mini-play. It’s very theatrical - with a storyline that conveys the aftermath of a woman's affair on a broken relationship devoid of communication. It’s also about the complexities of love and the willingness, courage and ability to engage yourself in it fully or not. I think it’s difficult to do a male-female duet. It’s hard to strike the right note that isn’t just sort of saccharine. But Rodney’s a very deep and thoughtful writer and very interested in truth, so I loved that this wasn’t a typical duet.” — Picking Up the Pieces Press Release
