I Know How You Feel

Listen to the beat of the rain

Feel the tears run down your face

So many feelings, all of them hurtin'

All of them so easy to place

I know, your heart just got broken

But you helped do the breaking

All of your cheatin' all of your lies

How long'd you think he would take it?

But all Hell broke loose tonight

No curses were flying

'Midst the screaming and crying

It was no knock down, all out fight

Just the hurt in his eyes

His love's dead, you realize

His heart's leaving, it's gone, taken flight

But believe me-

I know just how it feels

Don't have no music on tonight

Can't stand to hear one love song play

Each one shreds and tears up your heart

And each song's a love song in some damn' way

Before you, through the drivin' rain

The midnight road goes on forever

Hurtin', hopin'- will he take you back?

Yeah, the day after the end of never

Think back on the lies that you've told

Not one told with fear

Now, each one is a tear

You know you lost a heart pure as gold

You started driving around

So you're on this road out of town

Now there's no one to have and to hold

But believe me, girl-

I know just how it feels

What is it that does that to you?

Makes you think you'll have everything?

You start slippin'around the dark side of town

And find pain and sorrow is all it brings....

All that's left now is a picture

You and him, smiling in the summer sun

Remember you lost paradise

And that three ends up as none

I know it hurts-

Believe me, girl-

I know just how you feel.
