TITLE: Hurtin' Just The Way
Music & Lyrics by Tom Eaton, Copyright 2014
-------------------------------------------

Sometimes i sit and think about
moments spent together
those memories weigh heavy on my mind
but now it seems i've figured out
you loved me not no never
yeah lately i think i must have been blind

i'm hurtin' just the way you wanted all along
the image of your face brings me to tears
hurting' just the way you wanted me to dear
you left me girl it's been so many years

so now it seems that you've come back to hurt me once again
you think i don't know where you are at night
your love is like a hear attack it strikes just once and then
you'd rob me of my soul in broad day light

i'm hurting' just the way you've taken all i had
this emptiness is all your heart contains
hurting just the way you wanted me to dear
this kind of love can drive a man insane

sometimes i dream you'll leave again
and take this all away
it's funny how you play these tricks on me
you tell me that you're my best friend
every single day
and every night i pray you'll set me free

i'm hurtin' just the way you wanted all along
the image of your face brings me to tears
hurting' just the way you wanted me to dear
you left me girl it's been so many years
