Why Do Happy Memories Hurt So Bad

Baby's on the run, there she goes

Somethin' that I've done, I suppose

Made baby cry and now, I'm all alone

I hope by and by, baby will come back home

When I remember, the happiness we had

Why do happy memories hurt so bad

Why do happy memories hurt so bad

Think about the good times, let the bad times fade

That's a good philosophy, but I'm afraid

Good memories only feel good with someone to share them

But when you're alone it's much harder to try to bear them

A thought that makes you smile can still make you sad

Why do happy memories hurt so bad

Why do they hurt so bad, why do they hurt so bad

Occupy your time they tell me, get yourself a hobby

They mean well, but I'm not about to let them rob me

Of the only way I can be with you at all

It's here in my memory and I've got total recall

Even when parting is sweet, it's still sad

Why do happy memories hurt so bad

Why do they hurt so bad

Why do happy memories hurt so bad

Hurt so bad, hurt so bad

Hurt so bad, memories, memories

Memories, memories

Hurt so bad...
