[English]

I look for my keys somewhere buried in the grass

She's riding her tail lights over the broken glass

On a highway from nowhere hell bent on going back

Where did she come from and where do I go

Each time that I fall

You know it's just another show

Where the credits keep on rolling

And I'm the last to know

And it's a long cold road tonight

And I'm wandering without a fight

So tell me

Why you wanna hurt this way

Why you wanna hurt this way

Why you wanna hurt this way

Shine it on don't be ashamed

Nothing ever stays the same

Why you wanna hurt this way

Open the screen door

The transistor plays and old springsteen song

From my father's glory days

Mom's in the kitchen trying to hide her swollen face

The old man's tying one on tight

He looks the other way

Hold in every word

There's just too much to say

I gotta rise above this madness before I go insane

So tell me

Why you wanna hurt this way

Why you wanna hurt this way

Why you wanna hurt this way

Shine it on don't be ashamed

Nothing ever stays the same

Why you wanna hurt this way

...

Why you wanna hurt this way

Why you wanna hurt this way

Why you wanna hurt this way

Shine it on don't be ashamed

Nothing ever stays the same

Why you wanna hurt this way

...
