How Can It Hurt

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth) 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 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
