Does It Hurt?

Does it hurt to be the one that they all need? Always the teacher, never the student Always the rock in stormy seas Does it hurt to watch as they move on with their lives? You say you're happy seeing them happy from the side Does it hurt to feel it all a little deeper? Don't be a burden, don't be a hassle Don't let them see beneath your features Does it hurt to think that they'll never love you too? Not in the way you do so, tell me, does it hurt? But oh, what a beautiful night to be here on my own And I could say that I'm fine but I'm not no more 'Cause I'm on the outside looking in from out in the cold And I love you But there's only so far that kind of love goes 'Cause it hurts when I'm alone So I hide the way I feel forever Still in the free fall hoping someone catches me and makes it better But they won't 'cause I just smile but never tell Being their answer, needing an answer for myself But oh, what a beautiful night to be here on my own (here on my own) And I could say that I'm fine but I'm not more 'Cause I'm on the outside looking in from out in the cold (I love you) And I love you But there's only so far that kind of love goes 'Cause it hurts when I'm alone (aah) And it hurts when no one calls (aah) And I've got nowhere to go (aah) No one left that knows anything about me 'Cause I ain't cross the boundary Or see the other side 'Cause all I do is lie But oh, what a beautiful night to be here on my own Maybe I'll just say that I'm fine 'cause it's all that I know But I'm on the outside looking in from out in the cold (I love you) And I love you But there's only so far that kind of love goes (love goes) Oh no, there's only so far that kind of love goes (love goes) (Oh yeah) There's only so far that kind of love goes 'Cause it hurts when I'm alone
