Hurt So Much

Finally it happened And I remember getting dressed She was just sleeping, it's so beautiful I couldn't help but feeling blessed I had to catch a plane that day And I did not want to forget I never thought my mental photograph Could be one that I'd regret Because I'll never feel that good again And it's a price I'll always pay What I feel before the loss sets in I could never throw away And it can hurt so much It can hurt so much Make you choke your aspiration down Like soap in a bad boy's mouth When the thing you must let go of Is the one you'll always love It can hurt so much It can hurt so much Like some allergy or evil spell Some curse or affliction Or maybe just some selfish dream you've had Or what you say to your addictions Regardless and impervious It refuses not to last Something of eternity Entangled in your past And it can hurt so much And it can hurt so much Make you choke your aspiration down Like soap in a bad boy's mouth When the thing you must let go of Is the one you'll always love It can hurt so much It can hurt so much If the story's truly written And the ending cannot change These scenes inside my memory I will seek to rearrange Effecting all I hear and see And all I ever will When a vision's all that keeps me warm It only magnifies the chill But forever I can close my eyes And travel back in time Forever in that morning light Where she's forever mine And it's all forever different Like it was really meant to be Just waking, she's so beautiful And still waiting there for me And it can hurt so much It can hurt so much Make you choke your aspiration down Like soap in a bad boy's mouth When the thing you must let go of Is the one you'll always love It can hurt so much It can hurt so much
