Lyrics
“I Hurt Myself”
The thought of you~
Wears a groove in my mind
My love for you~
Wears a hole in my heart
The sight of you~
Would bring tears to these eyes
One touch from you
Tore me apart…
I hurt myself when I think of you
I hurt myself in my dreams
I hurt myself when the night is through
And no one else can hurt me~
Like I hurt myself…
I hurt myself when I think I see your face
And turn to find it’s not you
I hurt myself recalling things you’d say
And things you said we might do…
Bridge: To touch is to know, To feel is to burn
I know too much
And still I yearn…
No mercy here, I won’t forget
No wasted tear
Not one regret
I see; I want
I love; I fall
I live; I die
And through it all…
The blazing sun, The blinding rain
When I feel love,
I feel pain…
I hurt myself when I think of you
I hurt myself in my dreams
I hurt myself when the night is through
And no one else can hurt me
Like I hurt myself
