It Hurts

You look at my face, telling me i'm so fine
oh, you say things that shine beyond my smiles
you tell me so many tales that define who you are
beneath the moonlight and the sparkling stars
I look at you, and smile, thinking you're the perfect guy
believing in the words, thinking you're one of a kind
not reading between the lines, now trapped within the vows
telling me I'm a diamond, just because I shine
showing me off to your friends, because your girl is fine
crowning my heart with a ring, thinking I am your prize
every night we sleep side by side, never a word but a silent sigh

Been sitting on the porch all night, thinking of how i got in this mess
I love you for better or worse, yet i'm the one in distressed
there is no healing for this curse, no sunshine of happiness
Oh what's the worth, you are here and i'm still feeling empty
such loneliness that creeps, makes me feel so unworthy
loving you brings so much pains, oh yes, i gotta admit it hurts
loving you, loving you, loving you, oh it hurts, it hurts and hurts

if my hurts were painted on my face, would you still love me the same?
to trace each scars and wrinkles right underneath  your fingertips
to smell the sulfur burning along my very breath, oh yes, it hurts, it hurts

I'm not searching for the sun, a ray will do just fine
each time you look at my face, just know we are the same
that's right, my eyes, your nose, my smile, your joy, my life
I don't have to be a diamond, to glow in your soul
you can have the world and still find in your heart an empty hole
if you want to show off to your friends because i'm fine, it's alright
just don't crown my heart with a ring and thinking I'm  your  prize,
whoo whoo, woo woo, so wrong, so wrong, not nice, not right

i'm not searching for any wealth, just want to have the regular
I don't want to be popular, just acknowledge my worth, once in a while
you don't need to send me to the moon to show me that you care
Just light a candle, hold a single rose, and wait for me by the room
for a little soul food, who knows what i might do, might even be in the nude
woo woo, woo woo, love you, love you, for you, i'll be, i'll do, love you

you don't know the story of my life,
but you want to be a part of it, alright
U think i'm a diamond, just because i shine
wanna show off to your friends, because your girl is fine
alright, alright, hmm, hmm , hmm hmm, alright, alright
you crown my heart with a ring, thinking i'm your prize
whoo whoo, so wrong, so wrong, not nice, not right


where could you be, perhaps still hanging with the guys
you come home smelling like cheap beers, and i was worried sick,
We haven't been the same, but we still put on a smiling face
gotten on the bed with just a sigh, wondering why i'm so miserable inside
