Lyrics
I don’t hurt anymore all my teardrops are dried
No more walking the floor with that ol’ burning inside
Just to think it could be time has opened the door
It’s so wonderful now it don’t hurt anymore
No need to deny I wanted to cry the day you said we were through
But now that I find you’re out of my mind I can’t believe that it’s true
I’ve forgotten somehow that I cared so before
It’s so wonderful now it don’t hurt anymore
No need to deny I wanted to cry
