Ronnie Milsap

When the Hurt Comes Down

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 sound 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...
