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
