I tell the truth ‘cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry.
You wouldn’t know to look at me
There’s tiny scars that you can’t see
It was a struggle to survive
I’m probably lucky I’m alive
It only hurts me when I cry
You couldn’t tell it by the smile
But my recovery took awhile
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can’t believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks
— Dwight Yoakum lyrics
