I look for my keys somewhere buried in the grass
She's riding her tail lights over the broken glass
On a highway from nowhere hell bent on going back
Where did she come from and where do I go
Each time that I fall
You know it's just another show
Where the credits keep on rolling
And I'm the last to know
And it's a long cold road tonight
And I'm wandering without a fight
So tell me
Why you wanna hurt this way
Why you wanna hurt this way
Why you wanna hurt this way
Shine it on don't be ashamed
Nothing ever stays the same
Why you wanna hurt this way
Open the screen door
The transistor plays and old springsteen song
From my father's glory days
Mom's in the kitchen trying to hide her swollen face
The old man's tying one on tight
He looks the other way
Hold in every word
There's just too much to say
I gotta rise above this madness before I go insane
So tell me
Why you wanna hurt this way
Why you wanna hurt this way
Why you wanna hurt this way
Shine it on don't be ashamed
Nothing ever stays the same
Why you wanna hurt this way
Why you wanna hurt this way
Why you wanna hurt this way
Why you wanna hurt this way
Shine it on don't be ashamed
Nothing ever stays the same
Why you wanna hurt this way
