The greatest hurt the heart will ever know
Is when the one you love says she can't love you anymore
The pain that you feel is too much to conceal
As she slowly turns and walks towards the door
Yes, the saddest words to ever reach the heart
Are those cold final words just before the teardrops start
You wonder, yes, you do, what's left in life for you
When the pain begins to burn in your heart
Then somewhere deep down inside you
You search to defend your pride
But all that you find deep down inside you
Are reflected by the tears that fill your eyes
You wanna speak, huh, but words don't seem to flow
You wanna call out her name, "Baby, baby, please don't go, don't go"
But then without a sigh, she bids that last goodbye
Then she turns away and walks out the door
Oh, oh, the greatest hurt, the greatest hurt
The greatest hurt the heart has ever, ever known
