the pain of loving you

Singer: chris rea

see me walking 'round town

see me out on the street

there's a tear in every face

of the friends that i meet

they try so hard to hide it

but it's easy to see

i know they care about it

what it's doing to me

cos they know

what i

what i'm going through

time and again

they see the pain

of loving you

in the coffee break

in a bar at night

they keep catching me

hiding from the light

it's so easy to see

the futile steps that i'm taking

to raise up a smile

while my heart is breaking

cos they know

what i

what i'm going through

time and again

they see the pain

of loving you

i know that you

you don't want it this way

i know you care about me

so if you see a tear turn away

there's nothing nobody can do

no-one's to blame

it's just the pain of loving you

the pain of loving you
