How Can It Hurt

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?
How can it hurt if I don't understand?
How can it hurt if I don't understand?

How can it hurt?

You're never gonna square with me I know
So what is there to say?
And 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 it hurt if I don't understand?
How can I help if I don't under, don't under
Don't under, don't understand?

How can it hurt, how can it hurt?
When I don't understand, when I don't understand
Tell me how can it hurt when I don't understand
Tell me how can it hurt when I don't understand
