(Roger Murrah/Thomas Coin)

She hasn't said goodbye but I can see it in her eyes
And it's too late to fight what's gonna happen here tonight
So I'm packing all my things and I'll be gone before she leaves
'Cause I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down.

When the hurt comes down, it won't find me waiting
I'd rather go crazy if that's the only way out, oh
And it's a lonesome sound when hearts are breaking
So I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down.

I'd like to let her know that I don't wanna go
But either way it hurts so tell me what else can I do
In the morning when I'm gone I'll call her on the phone
'Cause I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down.

Now when the hurt comes down it won't find me waiting
I'd rather go crazy if that's the only way out, oh
And it's a lonesome soound when hearts are breaking
So I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down.

Oh, I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down...
