It Only Hurts When I Cry
Dwight Yoakam
[Intro] [Chorus] The only time I feel a pain Is in the sunshine or the rain And I don’t feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth ’cept when I lie And it only hurts me when I cry [Verse 1] N.C. You couldn’t tell it by this smile But my recovery took a while I worked for days and nights on end Just to walk and talk again You can’t believe the time it takes To heal a heart once it breaks [Chorus] The only time I feel a pain Is in the sunshine or the rain And I don’t feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth ’cept when I lie And it only hurts me when I cry [Instrumental] [Bridge] Oh maybe every now and then I have a small heartache again You wouldn’t know to look at me There’s tiny scars that you can’t see It was a struggle to survive I’m probably lucky I’m alive [Chorus] N.C. The only time I feel a pain Is in the sunshine or the rain And I don’t feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth ’cept when I lie And it only hurts me when I cry [Outro] I tell the truth ’cept when I lie It only hurts me when I cry
