Love that hurts, it's hard to bear
A pain that seems to linger there
Makes you wonder if it's worth
All these tears and all this hurt

Sometimes love just isn't kind
It leaves us broken and confined
A shattered heart, a broken soul
A sense of loss that takes its toll

We pray for love to never fade
But sometimes it becomes a charade
Where we pretend that all is well
And deep inside our heart was hell

We try to mend what's broken still
And hold on to a fading thrill
But love that hurts can scar so deep
That trust and hope are hard to keep

Love that hurts is like a knife
It takes away the joy in life
We try to heal the wounds inside
But sometimes love is a long good-bye

It's hard to let go of all we've known
To face the fact that we're alone
To accept that love has come and gone
And what was right now feels so wrong

We wonder if we'll love again
Or will the pain be our only friend
It's hard to open up our heart
When love has torn us all apart

Love that hurts can break the soul
And take away all self-control
We try to hide the tears that fall
And pretend we're not broken at all

But life goes on and time goes by
And slowly we begin to try
To search for love that's pure and true
And hope that it will come to you

We learn that love's a two-way street
And sometimes it's not ours to keep
We must be strong and let it go
And trust that life will teach us how to grow

Love that hurts will fade away
And you'll find joy in life one day
Keep on loving, keep on trying
And soon your heart will stop crying

Love that hurts can make you stronger
It's a journey that lasts much longer
Hold on tight and don't let go
For life is short and love should always flow.
