Through these tears I can see
What it was you meant to me
So blind to let you go
I guess I should have known

They say it only hurts
When it's love
Hearts can only break
If it's real
Since you've gone I know
What it is I feel, because
They say it only hurts
When it's love

Every day I pretend
You'll come back to me again
But I gave that time away
I only kept the pain

Because it only hurts
When it's love
A heart can only break
When it's real
And since you've gone I know
What it is I feel, because
They say it only hurts
When it's love

I had your trust
My pride came first
But was it worth
Your love

They say it only hurts
When it's love
My heart would only break
If it's real
And since you've gone I know
What it is I feel, because
I see it only hurts
When it's love
I can't believe the hurt
It couldn't get much worse
See it only hurts
When it's love
