Lyrics
I don’t hurt anymoreAll my teardrops’re driedNo more walking the floorWith that burning inside.
Just to think it could beTime has opened the doorAnd at last I am freeI don’t hurt anymore.
No use to deny I wanted to dieThe day you said we were throughBut now that I find you’re out of my mindI can’t believe that it’s true.
I’ve forgotten somehowThat I cared so beforeAnd it’s wonderful nowI don’t hurt anymore.
— Instrumental —
No use to deny I wanted to dieThe day you said we were throughBut now that I find you’re out of my mindI can’t believe that it’s true.
I’ve forgotten somehowThat I cared so beforeAnd it’s wonderful nowI don’t hurt anymore.
