The Hurt

A girl back on avenue 

Sitting on the bench

And the guy we passed on 5th

Who was fixing a fence

And the homeless guy begging

For a single smile

And there's me here in this life

Who sees nothing at all

Everyone has seen it

Everyone will face it

Everyone has a reason

Everyone is in a season

My guitar sounds like teardrops

Strumming away

All the sobs of the moment

You pause and you play

Because so many hurt

And so many cry

And that's why I hate to say the word

Goodbye

Are you sitting on the floor

On the far side of your bed

Where nobody can see you

And maybe think that you're dead

Are you wishing there was more

To this life than what you got

And are you dealing with the fights

That your mind has fought? 

No one else can see it

You hold it in

Everyone is wondering 

Is she where we think she is?

My guitar sounds like tear drops

Strumming away

All the sobs of the moment

You pause and you play 

Because so many hurt

And so many cry

And that's why I hate to say the word

Goodbye

Because I don't know what you go through

When I look away

And your eyes of contentment

They always can say

That you're fine and you're feeling

Like you could skip around

But inside I know that 

There's more of those sounds

Of the strumming the strumming

My humming, you're heart

You wanna get better 

But don't know where to start

I know that you got some

Things you're going through so let me sing along

We can write a song

I'm here all day long

And my guitar sounds like tear drops

Strumming away

All the sobs of the moment

You can pause and you can play

Because so many hurt

And so many are crying 

And that's why I can't stand to say goodbye

My guitar sounds like tear drops

I'm strumming away

All the sobs of the moment

You pause and you play

Because so many hurt

And so many cry

And that's why I hate to say the word

And that's why I hate to say the word

Goodbye
