How Can It Hurt Lyrics - Marillion

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 

You're never gonna square with me I know 

So what is there to say? 

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 I help if I don't understand.
