Lyrics

It hurt me so bad to see you cross the floor
Kissing her (Kissing her)
You didn't see me, but I saw you and
It hurt me so (Hurt me so)
It hurt me so bad that I tried to cry
To ease my hurt inside
But I tried in vain
'Cause the tears never came
I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
I tried tellin' myself that you loved me
And no one else (No one else)
But each time I look across the floor
I'm just not sure (Just not sure)
When I saw you hold her tight
With all my might, I tried to cry
To ease this hurt
This hurt inside
But I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
Although you hurt me so, I love you too much
To let you go (Let you go)
And when you take me home, you'll never know
I saw you kissing her (Kissing her)
I'll go on like nothing's happened instead
Some things are better unsaid
But if could cry
I wouldn't feel so sad
But I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
(Say goodbye) Say goodbye
(Say goodbye) Say goodbye
(Say goodbye) Say goodbye
(Say goodbye) Say goodbye
