You know it kills me to see you crying
To think of all your love she's been denying
And I can't blame you for feeling cheated
Being so in love and so unneeded
But the reason you keep trying is a feeling that I know

I hurt for you every time she breaks your heart
Baby I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do maybe I'm a fool
I watch you long for her and I hurt for you

So love won't work out the way you plan it
Only too well I understand it
And I'll be right here to console you
That's the only chance I'll have to hold you
It's so lonely being stranded with a dream you can't let go

If you could put the one who loves you
Maybe you'll want me now
If you could just see how
I know you long for her
But I hurt for you
