"Hurting" lyrics

Hurting

I love you
Will you please come back
By the time I count till fifty?
One

They say when love comes
It's something so good
But I've seen loving
Come and go
Cause, baby
I've been in love once
With someone special
And I saw love
Walk out the door

Can't you see that I was
Hurting
Deep down inside
Trying to
Hide my pride
Straighten out
In my mind
Longing to make things right?

Countless times
I have cried
Laid awake
Endless nights
Reliving
The bad times
Longing to make it right

They say when love comes
Love means so much
Will love last?
I have my doubts
So, baby
I don't want to
Want to need you
Just so you
Can let me down

Cause I've been
Hurting
Deep down inside
Trying to
Hide my pride
Straighten out
In my mind
Longing to make things right

Countless times
I have cried
Laid awake
Endless nights
Reliving
The bad times
Longing to make it right
Make it right

Cause, baby
I've been in love once
With someone special
And I saw love
Walk out the door

Can't you see that I was
Hurting
Deep down inside
Trying to
Hide my pride
Straighten out
In my mind
Oh, darling

Countless times
I have cried
Laid awake
Endless nights
Reliving
The bad times
Oh, darling
Oh, darling

Hurting
Deep down inside
Trying to
Hide my pride
Straighten out
In my mind
Oh, darling
Oh, darling

Countless times
I have cried
Laid awake
Endless nights
Reliving
The bad times
Oh, darling
