Steve Earle
Hurtin’ Me, Hurtin’ You
Here I am out in the rain
I know I can't ever wash out the pain
I never meant to be cruel or untrue
But I'm just hurtin' me when I'm hurtin' you
Girl, I won't say I'm hurtin' more
I know that you've heard all that before
So go on, believe what you wanna believe
But I'm hurtin' you, then I'm hurtin' me
I know it's hard to keep hanging on
You think that I hold all of the cards, I know you're wrong
And girl, just like me, you ain't got a clue
That I'm just hurtin' me when I'm hurtin' you
You know I love you, baby
God only knows that I do
I know I've been bad, baby
I never ever meant to be bad to you
I never meant to be cruel or untrue
But I'm just hurtin' me when I'm hurtin' you
I know it's hard to keep hanging on
When you think that I hold all of the cards, I know you're wrong
And girl, just like me, you ain't got a clue
That I'm just hurtin' me when I'm hurtin' you
I'm hurtin' me when I'm hurtin' you
