My mind works all the time is that why you're afraid of me

Or is it my tattoos that you can't help but to see

They say that I am complex don't believe everything I read

And sometimes it is so hard to explain all that I have seen

It only hurts when I laugh

I don't smile for pictures, my success is overdone

God watches over me,you know, I'm the fortunate one

Give me wings of angels rise above self righteousness

There's only so much of this ol' world that my soul can digest

It only hurts when I laugh

You can look a man dead in the eye

See deep within his soul

You can walk a mile in his shoes

You'll never know all he knows

My songs aren't always pretty cause the truth it sometimes hurts

And even though it's painful you know all the words

I've learned to shut the world out and to let the spirit in

It's only when I'm honest that miracles begin

It hurts when I laugh
