That hurts

Your baby told you it was over

And I'm just a friendly shoulder you can cry on

While I ache to take you into my arms

Of all the dreams in all the world

There's nothing worse

Than meant to be and you don't see



That I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak

Your hands shake

I wanted to be the one that you woke up to

Held on to

But I never knew that touch

And you'll never know how much

That hurts



It's not fair

I have to be the great pretender

As if I don't remember all those sad prayers

That sounded good but got me nowhere

Of all the jokes in all the world

How sad is this

To be so close and not let it show



That I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak

Your hands shake

I wanted to be the one that you woke up to

Held on to

But I never knew that touch

And you'll never know how much

That hurts



Oh I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak

Your hands shake

I wanted to be the one that you woke up to

Held on to

But I never knew that touch

And I wanted you so

But I have to let go

And you'll never know how much that hurts
