I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight Life seems so empty since you went away The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely tears instead And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day Every hour you're away I feel so lonely And I can't help it I don't think I can go on And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone [ steel ] They say a man should never cry but when I see you pa**ing by My heart breaks down and cries a million tears You broke my heart and set me free but you forgot your memories And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone It keeps right on a hurtin'... Yes it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone
