When it hurts like this
Shadows deep inside
Of all I miss
Regret and fear
Or long to be
Have no place to hide

When my hands lie still
Not in peace or rest
But from lack of will
To move or touch
The simplest act
Becomes an arduous quest

When it hurts like this
The world is amiss
The light so dim and far away

When the music’s gone
I lose my poise
Though I stumble on
The melody to this dance of life
Seems lost in the noise

When it hurts like this
The world is amiss
The light so dim and far away

I can’t even see my hands
Wandering through these
Swirling desert sands

When it hurts like this
The world is amiss
The light so dim and far away

When it hurts like this
When my hands lie still
When the music’s gone
When it hurts like this
