This is when it hurts

John

My lyrics, ai demo. This is the adult contemporary version.

This is when it hurts

Your coffee cup stands waiting
On the shelf above the counter
Your pink lipstick stain still on it
This is when it hurts

The place where you used to be
Lies empty in the morning light
I reach across the crumpled sheets
This is when it hurts

Not in the knock-down drag-out fight
Not in the angry scream and shout
But on a quiet Sunday morning
As the bright new day is dawning
This is when it hurts.

Your laughter used to fill the room, now silence takes its place
When I turn to speak to you and find an empty space
This is when it hurts

Not in the knock-down drag-out fight
Not in the angry scream and shout
But on a quiet Sunday morning
As the bright new day is dawning
This is when it hurts

Yes, this is when it hurts
