Lyrics
HURTIN? FOR CERTAIN
Words and Music by
Mark Davies
Verse 1 There is a place in every heart
Where deepest longings lie.
Sometimes they sleep, sometimes they keep
Fanning a flame that won?t die.
Chorus Hurtin? for certain,
Knowing this heartache won?t heal,
?Cause it?s true, you keep me searchin?
For the love I wish you could feel.
Verse 2 I lie awake through endless nights,
So alone with you right by my side.
It won?t take much, a lover?s touch,
To dry all the tears that I?ve cried.
Chorus (repeat)
Verse 3 There is a space in my own heart,
A space you once would fill
With loving word, a kiss that stirred
These feelings that sleep in me still.
Bridge So much to say ? can?t find a way,
If only you knew how I?ve tried.
Brief Instrumental (Transition to Verse 4)
with Modulation
Verse 4 No matter if I stay or go,
I leave or live with you,
It?s all the same ? no one to blame ?
I?ll be longing for love we once knew.
Chorus (repeat)
Repeat last line, rit.
