I let you in, I tore down the walls
But love was sharper than the fall
Every word you spoke, a gentle knife
Cut through the soul, carved up my life
You promised stars, but gave me storms
Now I'm drowning in what we've become
I tried to save you, tried to heal
But love's a wound that won't conceal
Love hurts, like fire in the veins
It burns, but we still take the pain
We crash, we break, we fall apart
But we still chase the flame in the dark
Love hurts, but we can't let go
A cruel embrace that scars the soul
Love hurts, but we can't let go
A cruel embrace that scars the soul
I heard the silence in your eyes
Between the truth and all the lies
You held me close, but pushed away
Now all I have is yesterday
You said that love would set us free
But all it did was bury me
I'm a prisoner in the memory
Of what we were and what we'll never be
Love hurts, like fire in the veins
It burns, but we still take the pain
We crash, we break, we fall apart
But we still chase the flame in the dark
Love hurts, but we can't let go
A cruel embrace that scars the soul
Love hurts, but we can't let go
A cruel embrace that scars the soul
We bleed, we cry, but we don't learn
We touch the flame and still get burned
What's the price of love's embrace?
Is it worth the heart it takes away?
Love hurts, like fire in the veins
It burns, but we still take the pain
We crash, we break, we fall apart
But we still chase the flame in the dark
Love hurts, but we can't let go
A cruel embrace that scars the soul
Love hurts, but we hold on tight
Praying that this pain feels right...
Love hurts.
