lyrics

Well hurry up and hurt me, baby
I can’t take it any longer
I can taste the goodbye on your kiss
You can fly away like smoke
And I can fall down with the ashes
Heartache’s just a place I can’t resist

Well looking into your eyes is like staring at the sun
It’s nice and warm before there’s any damage done
Well there ain’t enough wine in the world
To drink away this island girl
I better learn to talk before I run

Well what started as an ever after
Turned into a great disaster
Left my heart to hang out on the line
Now I’ve learned to listen to the birds
Learned to read between the words
Learned to lie and tell the world I’m fine

Well hurry up and hurt me, baby
I can’t take it any longer
I can taste the goodbye on your kiss
You can fly away like smoke
And I can fall down with the ashes
Heartache’s just a place I can’t resist

Well I hardly ever cry these days
Tears come by like scrambled eggs
At midnight, or mosquitos in December
And love has been a hiding place
And I’ve been left out in the wake
Of tidal waves from nights I can’t remember

And now it seems you want security
And that is what’s deterring me
From loving you beyond what we have here
Well I hope he drives a bigger truck
Hope he gives a bigger damn
Something like a new Dodge Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram

Well hurry up and hurt me, baby
I can’t take it any longer
I can taste the goodbye on your kiss
You can fly away like smoke
And I can fall down with the ashes
Heartache’s just a place I can’t resist
Heartaches’ just a place I can’t resist
I can taste the goodbye on your kiss
So hurry up and hurt me, baby
