  So, it's finally over
  Had to happen but, no big deal
  After all of that off again and on, what else is new.
 
 
  Well I said, well, will you catch me crying
  Not this kid
  Will I soon forget you
  I just did
  Does it really hurt me
  Only when I laugh.
 
 
  Is my heart finally numb yet
  Well, I don't think that I feel one thing
  After too long of running cold and hot, and cold then hot
  You simply end up blue.
 
 
  So I just changed things on my mailbox, suits me fine
  And since you've gone your way, I'll go mine
  Does it really hurt me
  Only when I laugh.
 
 
  Every time I fell in love
  I never fell completely
  The joke is I was saving something
  For a person I thought was you.
 
 
  Well, I guess I was dreaming
  Glad the fantasy is dead and gone
  And if my mind keeps running back and forth
  And back and forth
  Don't take that as a clue.
 
 
  It was a minor operation, I pulled through
  Opened up my life and took out you
  The only scars the heart that's neatly torn in half.
 
 
  Does it really hurt me
  Only when I laugh...
