Hurting Sure
Hurting Sure
I have often wondered
If life would ever reach me
Right down to the bottom of my heart
I’ve worked hard and I’ve been lazy
Acted sensible and crazy
Always just an actor in a part
It took your love to teach me
Life’s alive and not a play
The truth finally came home to me
The night you went away
Chorus: Now I’m hurting sure
That love is real
So I’m thankful for
Even this pain I feel
It shakes me to the root
A wound and yet a cure
I didn’t know ‘til now
But now I’m hurting sure
When your heart’s abandoned
The past comes back to haunt you
And every little loss gets lived again
Every love that ever blessed you
Sidestepped or second-guessed you
Every stranger that you once called friend
Been trying to heal another’s hurt
To earn the love I crave
I had to learn there’s
No one but myself that I can save (Chorus)
Instrumental
The world just yawned and opened wide
I’m standing in this place
And I can taste these tears I’ve cried
Sweet salty on my face (Chorus)
I didn’t know ‘til now
But now I’m—hurting sure
