Lyrics: It Only Hurts Me When I Cry
Album: If There Was A Way
Artist: Dwight Yoakam
 

(dwight yoakam, roger miller)

Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don’t feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth ‘cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry

You couldn’t tell it by this smile
But my recovery took a while
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can’t believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks

Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don’t feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth ‘cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry

Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn’t know to look at me
There’s tiny scars that you can’t see
It was a struggle to survive
I’m probably lucky i’m alive

Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don’t feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth ‘cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry

I’ll tell the truth ‘cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry
