What is that fallin out of your eyes
What is that rollin on down your shirt
Thunder and lightening from
a bloodshot sky
This time its lookin like a permanent hurt
What is that lipstick up on his sleeve
Where`s the forgiveness that`s stronger
than dirt
Can`t get the words out when you ask
him to leave
This time its lookin like a
permanent hurt
A permanent hurt, yeah
A permanent hurt
The pain and the memories do the
dirty work
Promises broken, hearts on red alert
The surface will heal but it`s feelin` like a
Permanent hurt
What were you thinkin` when you
fell in love
What were you thinkin` in that little black skirt
Bet you a rainbow you weren`t thinkin` of
Scuffin your heels up on a
permanent hurt
It`s all temporary like the big book says
Ashes to ashes, baby, dust to dust
Something gets scary, someone turns
their head
Somebody winds up with a
permanent hurt
A permanent hurt, yeah
A permanent hurt
The pain and the memories do the
dirty work
Promises broken, hearts on red alert
The surface will heal but it`s feelin` like a
Permanent hurt
