" Is It Normal to Hurt This Bad "

" Is It Normal to Hurt This Bad "

( Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

( Verse 1 )

The bed’s still cold on your side of the frame

I whisper your name but it don’t sound the same

Your picture’s on the dresser, staring right through me

I reach out my hand, but there’s nothing to see

( Chorus )

Is it normal to hurt this bad?

To wake up each morning wishing I had

One more moment, one more kiss, one more night

Instead I’m left here losing the fight

The silence cuts deeper than any blade ever has

Tell me, is it normal to hurt this bad?

( Verse 2 )

I still set the table, though I eat alone

Talk to your shadow like you’ve just gone home

Neighbors say healing is just down the road

But they don’t feel the weight of this heavy load

( Chorus )

Is it normal to hurt this bad?

To wake up each morning wishing I had

One more moment, one more kiss, one more night

Instead I’m left here losing the fight

The silence cuts deeper than any blade ever has

Tell me, is it normal to hurt this bad?

( Bridge )

I’ve tried to move forward, but I’m stuck in the past

Every second without you feels longer than the last

I’d give up forever for five minutes more

Just to hear your footsteps walk through that door

( Final Chorus / Outro )

Is it normal to hurt this bad?

When the love of your life was the best you had

And all that remains are echoes and tears

A lifetime of memories that still feel so near

Lord, if this is normal, I don’t understand

How a broken heart learns to hurt this bad…
