My heart felt like a mountain crashing
A dying victim of your crushing words
My courage trampled by your good-bye
My last shred of happiness, suppress by the closing of your heart's door

(Chorus) I hurt so bad I can't describe it

I can't breathe, and I can't hide it
Will it ever fade? Is it here to stay?
Why must I hurt and feel this way?

You plucked your love from my native soul,
And ripped it from my pssionate heart
I watched it wither and die, cold upon the floor,
Right before my tear filled eyes

(Chorus) I hurt so bad I can't describe it

I can't breathe, and I can't hide it
Will it ever fade? Is it here to stay?
Why must I hurt and feel this way?

Now, in agony, our paths are parting, although I simply can't endure
But, somewhere in the recent past, our paths began as friends,
And friends grew into lovers, and a love took hold
That grew so strong, I can't conceive it's deepness

(chorus) I hurt so bad I can't describe it

I can't breathe, and I can't hide it
Will it ever fade? Is it here to stay?
Why must I hurt and feel this way?

Torn apart, far to soon, in a way far to wrong,
Under a canopy of circumstances that crown it,
And bittersweet memories taht compound it
A milestone in my life, one that I had rather miss
Oh, I'd give anything, for just one embrace, and anything,
Anything, anything, for just one fleeting, stolen kiss

(chorus) I hurt so bad I can't describe it
I can't breathe, and I can 't hide it
Will it ever fade? Is it here to stay?
Why must I hurt and feel this way?
