Lyric

You know it kills me to see you crying, to think of all your loveHe’s been denyin’ and I can’t blame you for feeling cheatedBeing so in love and so unneededBut, the reason you keep trying is a feelin’ that I know
Oh, I hurt for you every time, he breaks your heartBaby, I hurt for you and it’s tearing me apartTo care the way I do, baby I’m a foolI watch you long for him and I hurt for you
So love won’t work out the way you planned itDarling, all to well I understand it but I’ll be right here to console youIf that’s the only chance I’ll have to hold you‘Cause you’re so lonely being stranded with a dream you can’t let go
Oh, I hurt for you every time he breaks your heartBaby, I hurt for you and it’s tearing me apartTo care the way I do, baby, I’m a foolI watch you long for him and I hurt for you
Oh, if you could want the one who loves youOh, maybe you would want me now if you could just see how
I hurt for you every time he breaks your heartBaby, I hurt for you and it’s tearing me apartTo care the way I do, baby, I’m a foolI watch you long for him and I hurt for youI know you long for him, but I hurt for you
