Well it was many years ago,
It seems like yesterday
My baby packed her bags
And took her pretty self away

Was it something I did?
Something I said?
Something confusing in my head
I asked a Doctor
And he said I was ok

But it hurts when I laugh
And it hurts when I cry
And it hurts when I remember the reason why
Yes it hurts when I laugh
And it hurts when I cry
And it hurts when I remember the day she said "Goodbye"

Well the minutes passed like hours
And the hours passed like days
My friends tell me I'm alright
And I'm just going through a phase

But it's easy for them
Easy to say
Easy when nothings in your way
It ain't so easy when you feel the way I do

Cause it hurts when I when I laugh
And it hurts when I cry
And it hurts when I remember the reason why
Yes it hurts when I laugh
How it hurts when I cry
And it hurts when I remember the day she said "Goodbye"

You may think that I'm pathetic
You may think I'm insane
But no kind of anaesthetic
Is gonna take away this pain

I'm at the end, I'm on the shelf
I'm feeling sorry for myself
And that feels good 'cause I ain't up
Unless I'm down

How it hurts when I laugh
And it hurts when I cry
And it hurts when I remember the reason why
Yes it hurts when I laugh
And it hurts when I cry
And it hurts when I remember the day she said
The day she said Goodbye
Oh the day she said Goodbye
Oh the day she said Goodbye
