I got a splinter in my eye

It's not tearing me apart

Yes, I'm making me blue

It's just reminding me of you

I got a splinter in my heart

Burning high when we're apart

It's injuring me so through and through

It's not the splinter makes me blue

Well, I know we've talked this over a thousand times before

You wanted love, I wanted more

Searching in the shadows all these long and passing years

I found you around

My love got me blind

When you first saw me it sparkled in my eye

Danger and the darkness burn so deep down deep inside

I got a splinter in my heart

Burning bright when we're apart

It's now making me blue

It's just reminding me of you

Got a splinter in my heart

Burn so bright when we're apart

It's injuring me so through and through

Making our love feel brand new

I still feel that hurt, hurt

Hurt, hurt

Pain and love, the slowest waltz, the sweetest love that never halts

Drifting through an Opando without a trace and still I got a splinter in my heart

It's not tearing me apart

Yes, I'm making me blue

It's just reminding me of you

Got a splinter in my heart

A burning fire that never pops

It's injuring me so through and through

Making our love feel brand new

I still feel that hurt, hurt

You drive on and know me with hurt

Burning high on where you hurt

I got this pain to you
