So You Can Hurt Too
You look into my eyes
I hope you see the pain
You do, but you easily look away
Pretending you don't notice
Because you are so afraid
Afraid, that you will feel
sorry for hurting me
That you may regret losing me
I pray that when you are
all alone, that your heart
aches for me
That when you hear a song
of ours on the radio
That you will listen to it
and think about me
Rather than change it
and brush my memory
from your mind
And I pray that someday
you're able to really look
into my eyes and feel my pain
So you... can hurt too
