I know I'm not your keeper, babe
I do what I can and get out of the way

I know, I know, I'm a dead end road
But I still believe in my secret soul
That I could have been your home

And it hurts, baby, it hurts
It hurts, baby, it hurts
To see you with someone like her
It hurts, baby, it hurts

I know you're wearing your yellow coat
Starting bar fights at dawn
Reading poems you wrote

And I shared your shadow so long, you see
What you do to yourself
Well it devastates me
Still I swallow concern
Like dark honey

It hurts, baby, it hurts
It hurts, baby, it hurts
To see you with someone like her
It hurts, baby, it hurts
It hurts, hurts, hurts
Oh
