It Hurts...
knowing this pain holds the power
that brings on the mighty showers
leaving me wounded
and the longing to be understood,
knowing I had lost sight
to what seems so bright
in my younger days,

It Hurts...
knowing how this all played out
It was romance without words
but he started slowly creeping in my life
things started going on dim,
it hurts me knowing I didn't see
what was about to happen to me
I didn't see the red flags of warning
when he would show up every morning,

It Hurts...
knowing I was that blind
not knowing what was really on his mind
when he would speak
his voice sounds so sweet,
But now all that has changed
he now plays the blame game
and how he would shame my name
all over the town,

It Hurts...
Knowing he had that much control over my life
over my own family and friends
they don't even speak
not now or even then
I can remember that cold December
when he swept me off my feet
making me feel like a queen,

It Hurts...
Knowing he knew how to charmed his way in my life
and made me think it was alright
at the time it felt so right
but that was before he started making me cry.
