Lyrics
It Only Hurts When I Cry
[v1]
I helped my mother pack up the car,
as my father stood at the door.
I don't think he intended to take it that far,
her face was swollen and sore.
When I asked if it hurt, she turned away
and stared out into the sky,
the words that she told me still haunt me today.
She said "it only hurts when I cry".
[chorus]
Oh such a loss of innocence,
no sparkle in her eyes.
The words that she told me still haunt me today,
she said "it only hurts when I cry".
[v2]
As the years rolled ahead we drifted apart.
I was bright eyed and glory bound.
Then I loved a girl, and she gave me her heart,
but I threw it down to the ground.
In a moment of anger, that monster raged free,
I remember the look in her eyes.
She grabbed her things and walked out on me.
now it only hurts when I cry.
[chorus]
Oh such a twist of circumstance
(to) become what I despise.
She grabbed her things and walked out on me,
now it only hurts when I cry.
[v3]
No I'll never find another like her,
So hard to face up to the past.
Put a stick in the ashes, and give them a stir,
look for some answers that last,
as I gather the harvest from seeds that I sow.
I won't wallow in sorrow and pride.
coz I found out a long time ago,
that it only hurts when I cry.
[chorus]
Oh such a loss of innocence
no sparkle in her eyes.
Yes I found out a long time ago...
