The Hurt Inside - John Mayall, Larry McCray, Eric Corne

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

And all the tears that you cry

You can’t hide

From all the hurt inside

You’re in a situation

And pray the time it will pass

But it feels like you’re walkin'

Through miles and miles of broken glass

Painted into a corner

Where the sun never shines

Who turned on that spotlight?

You didn’t even learn your lines

Baby, deep in your heart

A wound is open wide

No use to be hidin'

From the archin' pain and hurt inside

Think about 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 never hold back the night

Between a rock and a hard place

Is where you’ll always be

You’re just caught in a trap

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

You’re just caught in a trap

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

You’re just caught in a trap

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
