I Don't Hurt Anymore
Faron Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't hurt anymore all my teardrops're dried
No more walking the floor with that burning inside
Just to think it could be time has opened the door
And at last I am free I don't hurt anymore
No use to deny I wanted to die the day you said we were through
But now that I find you're out of my mind I can't believe that it's true
I've forgotten somehow that I cared so before
And it's wonderful now I don't hurt anymore
[ piano ]





No use to deny...
