Here Comes the Hurt lyrics

The rain beats on the window

and again I lie awake,

so I turn on the light,

I walk the floor until daybreak.

Oh, damn this silent night,

I just can't wait until the day.

And with the rain, 

maybe this pain will fade away.

Here comes the hurt, here comes the hurt.

A broken dream, it lies in the dirt.

I lie awake every night.

I just can't wait until I see the light.

It's been the same, girl, 

since you've been gone.

The hurt, it goes on and on.

Girl, won't you say? What did I do wrong?

Here comes the hurt. 

And when it turns to daylight,

when the pain is not so deep,

then all day I wonder

if tonight will let me sleep.

I know by afternoon

I'll watch it fading with the light.

I know that up ahead,

there waits the night.

Here comes the hurt, here comes the hurt.

A broken dream, it lies in the dirt.

I lie awake every night,

I just can't wait until I see the light.

It's been the same, girl, 

since you've been gone.

The hurt, it goes on and on.

Girl, won't you say? What did I do wrong?

Here comes the hurt. 

Here comes the hurt, here comes the hurt.

A broken dream, it lies in the dirt.

I lie awake every night,

I just can't wait until I see the light.

Here comes the hurt, here comes the hurt.

A broken dream, it lies in the dirt.

I lie awake every night,

I just can't wait until I see the light.

Here comes the hurt, here comes the hurt.

Here comes the hurt, here comes the hurt.

I lie awake (lie awake) 

every night (every night).

Here comes the hurt, here comes the hurt.

I like awake every night.
