Song Lyrics

There you were last night, sitting close to her by candlelight
I couldn't let you see my crying eyes but I wanted so bad to run to you
How could you find someone in just so little time

We said we'd be friends maybe one day, give us one more try
I can't understand, it happened so fast, six months have passed
Now suddenly you've gotten over me

It hurts when I thought I had gotten over you
It hurts when together forever won't come true
It hurts when one broken heart is how it ends
'Cause it hurts to know that you are in love again

I'm trying so hard not to care but you're happy now and it's not fair
Just when I thought that I was getting strong, I see you with her
I was wrong

Now I can pretend that losing you, didn't mean a thing
And I can deny that this whole thing's not happening
To hold it inside, it's killing me, it's hurting me
If you could only see

It hurts when I thought I had gotten over you
It hurts when together, forever won't come true
It hurts when one broken heart is how it ends
'Cause it hurts to know that you are in love again

It hurts when I thought I had gotten over you
It hurts when together, forever, it won't come true
It hurts when one broken heart is how it ends, oh
'Cause it hurts to know that you are in love again

It hurts when, ooh, ooh
It hurts when I see you, I see you with her
It hurts when my broken heart is how it ends
'Cause it hurts to know that you
