(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)

Maybe you're just too upset inside to give it to me straight
Maybe you've become too angry and too close to crying to say anything i can understand
Or maybe you're just coming in over my head
Maybe you're just too upset inside too upset inside

How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand

You're never gonna square with me i know so what is there to say?
There's a million words that we could share tonight
Why do you walk away?
And i could write you off and it's over with like a damaged car i can't afford to fix
But everything inside me wants to heal your pain
You won't explain
You won't explain

How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand

How can it hurt, how can it hurt
Well i don't understand
Well i don't understand
Tell me how can it hurt
Well i don't understand
Tell me how can it hurt
Well i don't understand
