Love was always supposed to be

Something wonderful to me

To watch it grow inside yourself

To feel your heart beside itself





Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(when you know you've given all you can)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(you do your best but it's still much too sad)

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell

That's the way it feels





True love it has no hiding place

It's not something you just put away

It's always there inside of you

And it shows in everything you do





Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(when you know you've given it your best)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(you feel a thousand miles from happiness)

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell

That's the way it feels





Here we are the two of us

So full of love, so little trust

But dying for some tenderness

But too afraid to take the step





Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(when you know you've given it your best)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(there's nothing funny if it's killing you)

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell

That's the way it feels





I know if there is any chance

For us to find our happiness

We've got to learn tolet it go

Forget all the pain we know





Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

Sometimes it hurts it hurts to even laugh

And it hurts like hell

That's the way it feels
