Finally it happened
And I remember getting dressed
She was just sleeping, it's so beautiful
I couldn't help but feeling blessed
I had to catch a plane that day
And I did not want to forget
I never thought my mental photograph
Could be one that I'd regret
Because I'll never feel that good again
And it's a price I'll always pay
What I feel before the loss sets in
I could never throw away
And it can hurt so much
It can hurt so much
Make you choke your aspiration down
Like soap in a bad boy's mouth
When the thing you must let go of
Is the one you'll always love
It can hurt so much
It can hurt so much
Like some allergy or evil spell
Some curse or affliction
Or maybe just some selfish dream you've had
Or what you say to your addictions
Regardless and impervious
It refuses not to last
Something of eternity
Entangled in your past
And it can hurt so much
And it can hurt so much
Make you choke your aspiration down
Like soap in a bad boy's mouth
When the thing you must let go of
Is the one you'll always love
It can hurt so much
It can hurt so much
If the story's truly written
And the ending cannot change
These scenes inside my memory
I will seek to rearrange
Effecting all I hear and see
And all I ever will
When a vision's all that keeps me warm
It only magnifies the chill
But forever I can close my eyes
And travel back in time
Forever in that morning light
Where she's forever mine
And it's all forever different
Like it was really meant to be
Just waking, she's so beautiful
And still waiting there for me
And it can hurt so much
It can hurt so much
Make you choke your aspiration down
Like soap in a bad boy's mouth
When the thing you must let go of
Is the one you'll always love
It can hurt so much
It can hurt so much
