Only Hurts Awhile

(album: Burn It Black - 2002)

Too much left to say
You never wanted it that way
Now you wake up wondering why your life is tumbling into
Nothing left to say
You always knew it'd be that way
And now you poison your dreams with a feeling that seems...

To leave you all alone
Ditch you halfway home
You pick yourself up off that ground
And find out what it's all about

It only hurts awhile
And then it's gone again
No need to ask just where or when
You'll find yourself again
'Cause you're only here awhile
And then you're gone again
No need to ask just where or when

Once upon a time, I'd take a drink and I'd feel fine
Now it hurts me everywhere
Sick secrets I can't share
Nothing left to say
I always knew it'd be that way
And now I've poisoned my dreams with a feeling that seems...

To leave me all alone
Ditch me halfway home
I'll pick myself up off the ground
And find out what it's all about

It only hurts awhile
And then it's gone again
No need to ask just where or when
You'll find yourself again
'Cause you're only here a while
And then you're gone again
No need to ask just where or when

Falling faster towards the ground
You are
Coming faster down and down

To leave me all alone
Ditch me halfway home
I'll pick myself up off the ground
And find out what it's all about

It only hurts awhile
And then it's gone again
No need to ask just where or when
You'll find yourself again (Find yourself again)
'Cause you're only here a while
And then you're gone again
No need to ask just where or when

Falling faster towards the ground
You are
Coming faster down and down
Falling faster towards the ground
You are
Coming faster down and down
