It Only Hurts When I Laugh

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
