The Hurting (Live) [David Jensen Session 1982]

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

Is it an horrific dream?

Am I sinking fast?

Could a person be so mean

As to laugh and laugh

[Pre-Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

On my own

Could you ease my load?

Could you see my pain?

Could you please explain

The hurting

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

Could you understand a child

When he cries in pain?

Could you give him all he needs

Or do you feel the same?

[Pre-Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

All along

You've been told you're wrong

When you felt it right

And you're left to fight

The hurting

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

The hurt, hurt, hurt

The hurt, hurt, hurt

[Interlude]

[Bridge: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

Get in line with the things you know

Feel the pain, feel the sorrow

Touch the hurt and don't let go

Don't let go, don't let go

Get in line with the things you know

Learn to cry, like a baby

Then the hurting won't come back

Won't come back, won't come back

[Outro: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt
