That's What Hurts [Lyrics]

You took your old blanket and slept on the chair,
Angry words were said and I was tugging at my hair,
And you looked at me with those cold blue eyes,
Cursing me under your breath for all of my little lies,
And tears were falling when I picked up that phone,
Comforted by a friendly voice when I spent the night alone.
"What's wrong?" he asked with a sincere quiet voice
And I sighed as I said, "I'm afraid, but I have no choice.."

[CHORUS]

I can't take another fight
It hurts, doesn't feel right,
I can't bare once more to see,
Him turn and walk away from me.
It's the sound in his words,
The look in his eyes, that's what hurts.

[VERSE 2]

And I clasped my hands, looked up to the broken sky,
Trying to pull myself together, tears clouding my eyes,
But I could hear you, muttering in hatred under your breath,
So I pulled the blanket up over my head, tried to get some rest,
But in the heat of the moment, I fell down to my knees,
As I muttered to the light under the door: "Oh please,
I know that you're angry, but if you look into your heart,
We could work it over together, create a new start..

[CHORUS]

'Cuz I can't take another fight,
It hurts, doesn't feel right,
And I can't bare once more to see,
You turn and walk away from me.
It's the sound in your words,
The look in your eyes, baby - that's what hurts.

[VERSE 3]

And when the morning came, with the sun shining bright,
I could see you standing there, with a faint slit of light,
But in your hands, you held bags filled with your clothes,
Yelling at me for the life that I stubbornly chose,
And when you walked out on me, slamming on the gas,
You drove as fast as you could, I watched as you passed,
Had that old country station cranked right up loud,
But as the broadcaster took my call, you turned around.

And you hit your knees in the drive-way
As I walked out, you turned to say..

[CHORUS]

I can't take another fight,
It hurts, doesn't feel right,
And I can't stand once more to see,
You turn and walk away from me.
It's the sound in your words,
The look in your eyes, that's what hurts,
Baby that's what really hurts.
