[Verse 1]
There's a voice calling out to me in the dark
Think it's trying to reach out to me from your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what you feel inside you never show
Oh, if you don't tell me, I'll never know
[Chorus]
Tell me if it hurts
When I reach for you in the middle of the night
You gotta tell me if it hurts
When I touch you or maybe tell me it's alright
[Verse 2]
There's a light in the darkness behind your tears
For a second I see it then it disappears
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what you feel inside I'll never know
Oh, if you won't tell me, how can I know?
[Chorus]
Tell me if it hurts
When the love's too strong and you think you're gonna fall
You gotta tell me if it hurts
Do you feel afraid?
Or does it worry you at all?
[Post-Chorus]
Or is it that special pain?
Like the one we're feelin' all the time?
Is it that special pain?
The pain that's never satisfied
[Bridge]
Oh, it's so crazy
No end in sight
Aw, but babe, you can save me
Just by holding me tight
[Chorus]
Tell me if it hurts
When I smile at you 'cause you caught me in life
You gotta tell me if it hurts
Does it break your heart?
Does it make you wanna cry?
Aw, tell me if it hurts
When I reach for you in the middle of the night
You gotta tell me if it hurts
When I touch you or maybe tell me it's alright
Oh baby, tell me if it hurts
When the love's too strong and you think you're gonna fall
You gotta tell me if it hurts
Do you feel afraid?
Or does it worry you at all?
Tell me if it hurts
When I smile at you 'cause you caught me in life
You gotta tell me if it hurts
Does it break your heart?
Does it make you wanna cry?
