Hurt This Way

[Verse 1]

I look for my keys somewhere buried in the grass

She's riding her tail lights over the broken glass

On a highway from nowhere, hell-bent on going back

Where did she come from, where do I go?

Each time that I fall, you know it's just another show

Well the credits keep on rolling and I'm the last to know

And it's a long, cold road tonight

And I'm wandering, without a fight

[Chorus]

So tell me why you want to hurt this way

Why you want to hurt this way

Why you want to hurt this way

Shine it all, don't be ashamed

Nothing ever stays the same

Why you want to hurt this way

[Verse 2]

Open the screen door, the transistor plays

An old Springsteen song, from my father's glory days

Bombs in the kitchen, try to hide a swollen face

The old man's tying one on tight, he looks the other way

I hold in every word, there's just too much to say

I've got to rise above this madness, before I go insane

[Chorus]

So tell me why you want to hurt this way

Why you want to hurt this way

Why you want to hurt this way

Shine it all, don't be ashamed

Nothing ever stays the same

Why you want to hurt this way

[Chorus]

So tell me why you want to hurt this way

Why you want to hurt this way

Why you want to hurt this way (yeah)

Shine it all, don't be ashamed

Nothing ever stays the same

Why you want to hurt this way
