John Mayall - The Hurt Inside Lyrics

You wrestle with your conscience
To free your better self
Did you think for one moment
You could be someone else
Between a rock and a hard place
Is where you seem to be
You've been caught in a trap
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
The nights were so lonely All the tears that you cry
You can't hide From all the hurt inside

You're in a situation
Pray this time will pass
But it feels like you're walking
Over miles and miles of broken glass
Painted into a corner
Where the sun never shines
Who turned on the spotlight
You didn't learn your lines
Baby deep in your heart A wound that's open wide
No use to be hiding From the aching pain and hurt inside

Think about all the hard times
Everybody's been through
But it won't make a difference
About the way that you do
In a blue state of mind
You must search for the light
It's a lie if they tell you
You can never win or hold back the night
Between a rock and a hard place Is where you'll always be
Caught in a trap - Between the devil and the deep blue sea
