Şarkı sözleri : John Hiatt. Permanent Hurt.

What is that fallin' out of your eyes?
What is that rollin' on down your shit?
Thunder and lightnin' from the bloodshot skies
This time its feelin' like a permanent hurt

What is that lipstick up on his sleeve?
Where's the forgiveness thats stronger than dirt?
Tearin' the words out when you ask him to leave
This time its gonna be 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 its 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

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 its feelin' like a permanent hurt
Ohh

It's all temporary like the big book tells
Ashes to ashes, baby dirt to dirt
Somethin' gets scary, someone runs like hell
Somebody winds up with the 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

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
A permanent hurt
It's feelin' like a permanent hurt
