The Hurting Lyrics
Is it an horrific dream
Am I sinking fast
Could a person be so mean
As to laugh and laugh
On my own
Could you ease my load
Could you see my Pain
Could you please explain
The Hurting
Could you understand a child
When he cries in Pain
Could you give him all he needs
Or do you feel the same
All along
You've been told you're wrong
When you felt it right
And you're left to fight
The Hurting
Get in line with the things you know
Feel the Pain
Feel the sorrow
Touch the hurt and don't let go
Get in line with the things you know
Learn to cry
Like a baby
Then the hurting won't come back
Am I sinking fast
Could a person be so mean
As to laugh and laugh
On my own
Could you ease my load
Could you see my Pain
Could you please explain
The Hurting
When he cries in Pain
Could you give him all he needs
Or do you feel the same
All along
You've been told you're wrong
When you felt it right
And you're left to fight
The Hurting
Feel the Pain
Feel the sorrow
Touch the hurt and don't let go
Get in line with the things you know
Learn to cry
Like a baby
Then the hurting won't come back

This song is about Curt Smith's shitty childhood it was in an interview from Scenes From the Big Chair DVD.
It's kinda ironic, the catchy bubbly upbeat music combined with the sad lyrics...
i love the way they sing falsetto to sound like a baby crying. also i like the way he sings " the huh huh huurt" also catchy synth and drum beats
Damn, such an under-rated song. Wish a band would cover this.
Their only true duet from the 80's
Great album opening
