How Can It Hurt" -- from the Marillion single "Cover My Eyes"



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,

You're 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 going to square with me I know so what is there to say?

When there's a million words that we could share at night, 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 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?



etc.
