[Verse 1]
The trace of last night's teardrops is still upon her cheeks
A monument of misery where she cried herself to sleep
The stain of last night's good times is still upon your shirt
The shirt will wash her tears will dry but what about the hurt
[Chorus]
You can't remove the mark of hurt with anything you say
It leaves a scar inside her heart that words can't wash away
[Verse 2]
Someday you'll reap the harvest of the bitter seeds you've sown
And memories of those good times won't help you when she's gone
You'll see those stolen moments for everything they're worth
The price you pay for thrills are cheap but what about the hurt
[Chorus]
You can't remove the mark of hurt with anything you say
It leaves a scar inside her heart that words can't wash away
[Verse 3]
Someday you'll reap the harvest of the bitter seeds you've sown
And memories of those good times won't help you when she's gone
You'll see those stolen moments for everything they're worth
The price you pay for thrills are cheap but what about the hurt
