Well somebody's hurtin' and I know why

And he's a livin' in torment from a love that won't die

He thought it was funny when she walked out on him

Now the love that he laughed out, he can't cry back in

He faces the sunrise and prays for the night

And when the darkness gets around him then he prays for the light

His mixed up emotions just keep choking him

'Cause the love that he laughed out, he can't cry back in

Now you've heard the story of one foolish man

By now you know it's me so give me some pity if you can

I know it's all over but when will it end

This love that I laughed out, I can't cry back in

The love that I laughed out, Lord, I can't cry back in
