Текст песни: Stephanie Bentley. Permanent Hurt.

What is that fallin' out of your eyes
What is that rollin' on down your shirt
Thunder and lightening from a bloodshot sky
This time its lookin' like a permanent hurt

What is that lipstick up on his sleeve
Where's the forgiveness that's stronger than dirt
Can't get the words out when you ask him to leave
This time its lookin' like a permanent hurt

A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
Promises broken, hearts on red alert
The surface will heal but it's feelin' like a permanent hurt

What were you thinkin' when you fell in love
What were you thinkin' in that little black skirt
Bet you a rainbow you weren't thinkin' of
Scuffin' your heels up on a permanent hurt

It's all temporary like the big book says
Ashes to ashes, baby, dust to dust
Something gets scary, someone turns their head
Somebody winds up with a permanent hurt

A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
Promises broken, hearts on red alert
The surface will heal but it's feelin' like a permanent hurt
