It Only Hurts

Each tear that falls

Every word

Hearing, feeling, seeing

But it only hurts…

…When you need me

And I am not there

It only hurts,

When I am not there,

to lift you up.

Wishin’ I was there,

So it wouldn’t hurt as much

Wishin’ I was there,

So you can take hurt away

It only hurts when you cry

And I can not dry a tear.

I want to be there

So it doesn’t hurt as bad

Please destroy my hurt

In this soul

Ensure me please

That it will not hurt in the end

It only hurts when you say,

You are nothing

And you really mean it

It only hurts when you tell me

To forget about you

That is something that would

Hurt me more if I agree to do so

It would really hurt

If you left me

On my knees I would cry

It only would hurt

For the longest time…

But it only hurts

When I am not there

To break your falls

And lift you up
