it only hurts because i care
i love so much i bleed
i laugh so much i cry
i dance until i sleep
i run until i fall
and i care so much it hurts

others ignore the gnawing inside
numb the pain with ice
my fire blazes hot
the flames scorch my soul
i feel your sorrow stain my skin
and i care so much it hurts

you gave me my dream
then tore it apart
you cut a piece of my heart out
you stangled my soul
but i still love you
and i care so much it hurts

gentle memories kiss but claw
forgotten photos smile but cry
your lock of hair so sweet yet sour
rememberd words caress but bite
and though i want to hate you
i care so much it hurts
