When you turn your hurt to pride
To save yourself from what you feel inside
What good are cold eyes gonna do you tomorrow
With your face reflected in the glass
Of a vacant window as you walk past
You see in your eyes a storefront for sorrow
How hard it is to understand
That love won't pay attention to your plan
Of what's goin' on and what should be
You wonder how this can be
You've had to say good-bye
'Cause you turned your hurt to pride
How can I make you understand
About my tears and my trembling hand
The silence of nights an eternity
You wonder how this can be
I've had to say good-bye
'Cause I turned my hurt to pride
I turned my hurt to pride to save myself
I turned my hurt to pride
