Maybe you're just too upset inside   To give it to me straight   Maybe you've become too angry   And too close to crying      To say anything I can understand   Or maybe you're just coming in over my head   Maybe you're just too upset inside   Too upset inside      How can it hurt if I don't understand?   How can it hurt if I don't understand?   How can it hurt if I don't understand?   How can it hurt if I don't understand?      How can it hurt?      You're never gonna square with me I know   So what is there to say?   And there's a million words that we could share tonight   Why do you walk away?      And I could write you off and it's over with   Like a damaged car I can't afford to fix   But everything inside me wants to heal your pain   You won't explain, you won't explain      How can it hurt if I don't understand?   How can it hurt if I don't understand?   How can it hurt if I don't understand?   How can I help if I don't under, don't under   Don't under, don't understand?      How can it hurt, how can it hurt?   When I don't understand, when I don't understand   Tell me how can it hurt when I don't understand   Tell me how can it hurt when I don't understand
