THAT HURTS
YOUR BABY TOLD YOU
IT WAS OVER
AND I'M JUST
A FRIENDLY SHOULDER
YOU CAN CRY ON
WELL I ACHE
TO TAKE YOU
INTO MY ARMS
OF ALL THE DREAMS
IN ALL THE WORLD
THERE'S NOTHIN' WORSE
THAN MEANT TO BE
AND YOU DON'T SEE
THAT I WANTED TO BE
THE ONE
TO MAKE
YOUR KNEES WEAK
YOUR HANDS SHAKE
I WANTED TO BE
THE ONE
THAT YOU WOKE UP TO
HELD ON TO
BUT I NEVER
KNEW THAT TOUCH
AND YOU'LL NEVER
KNOW HOW MUCH
THAT HURTS
IT'S NOT FAIR
I HAVE TO BE
THE GREAT PRETENDER
AS IF I DON'T REMEMBER
ALL THOSE SAD PRAYERS
THAT SOUNDED GOOD
BUT GOT ME NOWHERE
OF ALL THE JOKES
IN ALL THE WORLD
HOW SAD IS THIS
TO BE SO CLOSE
AND NOT LET SHOW
THAT I WANTED TO BE
THE ONE
TO MAKE
YOUR KNEES WEAK
YOUR HANDS SHAKE
I WANTED TO BE
THE ONE
THAT YOU WOKE UP TO
HELD ON TO
BUT I NEVER
KNEW THAT TOUCH
AND YOU'LL NEVER
KNOW HOW MUCH
THAT HURTS
OH I WANTED TO BE
THE ONE
TO MAKE
YOUR KNEES WEAK
YOUR HANDS SHAKE
I WANTED TO BE
THE ONE
THAT YOU WOKE UP TO
HELD ON TO
BUT I NEVER
KNEW THAT TOUCH
AND I WANTED YOU SO
BUT I HAVE TO LET GO
AND YOU'LL NEVER
KNOW HOW MUCH
THAT HURTS
