It hurt me so bad To see you cross the floor Kissing her You didn't see me But I saw you and It hurt me so It hurt me so bad When I tried to cry To ease my hurt inside But I tried in vain 'Cause the tears never came I'm too hurt to cry And too much in love to say goodbye I tried telling myself That you loved me and no one else But each time I look across the floor I'm just not sure When I saw you hold her tight With all my mind I tried to cry To ease this hurt This hurt inside But I'm too hurt to cry And too much in love to say goodbye Although you hurt me so I love you too much to let you go And when you take me home You'll never know I saw you kissing her I'll go on like nothing has happened instead Some things are better unsaid But if could cry I wouldn't feel so sad But I'm too hurt to cry And too much in love to say goodbye But I'm too hurt to cry And too much in love to say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye
