Another day of letters, waitin' for me at the door
But they're not for me to open and you don't live here anymore
And I guess I could find your number, leave a message on your phone
Where I'd say here in Hurt City I can't stand this livin' alone
All alone If you get my message, feel free to come around
I've been stayin' up late lately in this once picture perfect town
And I know I've left questions unanswered and I carry my heart like a stone
Here in Hurt City I can't stand this livin' alone

CHORUS:
"All alone
Here in Hurt City
I've been wishing on every star in the sky, praying that you would come home
And I've searched through all the mistakes that we made
And found that the fault was my own
Here in Hurt City I can't stand it livin' alone"

If there's an expressway right out of this town I'm tempted to find where it ends
If we could get back to where our love was found and start out all over again

REPEAT CHORUS

Here in Hurt City I can't stand this livin' alone
Here in Hurt City I can't stand it

Hurt, hurt, hurt city
I can't stand this livin' alone
Hurt City
I can't stand this livin'
I can't stand this livin' alone
