Tell Me Where It Hurts

Shoulders back and chin high
Stoic posture, fine disguise
But I can see the scars glistening
In your eyes
Bruised and broken, made to kneel
Plastered smile, feign mind of steel
Brittle words disguise the ache
You feel

I can tell that you're bleeding
I can tell that you're grieving
But I can't tell where
I can't tell
So won't you tell me
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where your soul's on fire
Where your skin, your heart, burns
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where you're buried
What scars you've hidden beneath the dirt
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts

I've crossed mountains, I've crossed seas
Thought I'd finally learned to be
But just one touch and, darling
I am falling

I can tell that you're bleeding
I can tell that you're grieving
But I can't tell where
I can't tell
So won't you tell me
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where your soul's on fire
Where your skin, your heart, burns
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where you're buried
What scars you've hidden beneath the dirt
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts

I will be the air in your lungs
I will be the water to cool your raging heart
I will be your voice, be your tongue
Take my hand and we'll find our way out of the dark

I can tell that you're bleeding
I can tell that you're grieving
But I can't tell where
I can't tell
So won't you tell me
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where your soul's on fire
Where your skin, your heart, burns
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where you're buried
What scars you've hidden beneath the dirt
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
