It hurts not to talk
It kills to walk
Away from happiness
And your smile
Away from you
Leaving my heart
Just like the shattered few
It hurts that I cannot be
With you forever
It hurts that I have to smile
It hurts that I have to live
It hurts that I can only dream
Of times when I can be
The reason for your smile and joy
It hurts that I have to lay aside
This heart that beats for you
It hurts that I have to act
To hide the truth, the fact
The dreams and the endless love
my heart and my life
its pain and its eternal strife
