The Hurt

You say you want to seek the truth, but it's hard to find
 No one to help you, your friends don't have the time, hey, hey, hey
 So you ride around in your car, switch on the radio
 You wait for a miracle, 'cos you say one day one'll come along
 But wishful thinking, boy, time it won't be long
 Yeah, until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
 Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
 Until I got hurt, 'till got hurt, why didn't I
 I didn't think of this until I got hurt
 'Till I got hurt. baby. I didn't know' what love is
 You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry
 But the tears you shed are only in your eye
 So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell
 But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion
 Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
 Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
 Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
 Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
 I didn't think of this until I got hurt
 'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
 Young son, don't let me down, young son
 I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
 Hold on, never let go, now hold on
 Turn your heart to the bright sun
 Love will come your way
 Cos 'till you make that final show
 You'll never know what love you've been missing
 You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
 No one to help you and nobody to push you on
 So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
 You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day one'll come along
 (But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone
 I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong
 Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
 Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
 Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
 I didn't think of this until I got hurt
 'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
 Until I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is
