How Can It Hurt

(album: Holidays In Eden - 1991)

Maybe you're just too upset inside
To give it to me straight
Maybe you've become too angry and too close to crying
To say anything I can understand
Or maybe you're just coming in over my head
Maybe you're just too upset inside
Too upset inside
How can it hurt if I don't understand
How can it hurt if I don't understand

You're never gonna square with me I know
So what is there to say?
There's a million words that we could share tonight
Why do you walk away?
And I could write you off and it's over with
Like a damaged car I can't afford to fix
But everything inside me wants to heal your pain
You won't explain, you won't explain.

How can it hurt if I don't understand
How can it hurt if I don't understand
How can I help if I don't understand.

How can it hurt, how can it hurt
Well I don't understand
