lyrics

Hurt today I hurt today
There's not a whole lot else to say
Thoughts too dark I can't explain
I hold them back until they wain
Shadow there behind my smile
My soul torn out all the while
And no one here to see
And no one to hold me

Beneath the facade I'm keeping
I cannot see from weeping
And what is there to gain
From having all this pain

Tossed in the water and the waves
Lost sight of the one that saves
And in the dark I'm all alone
I've forgotten what I should have known
Things hurt when I was small
And now they don't hurt at all
I can see how these petty things
Still hurt and it still stings

[chorus]
Shadow there behind my smile
My soul torn out all the while
There's no one here to see
And no one to hold me

In a day I'll be all right
What's one day, what's one night
When I see the sun the next day
Everything will be ok
Sunlight breaks and it is dawn
All those fears are gone
Water reflects sun and my soul
Some day God will make me whole
