Let It Hurt

7:42 in the morning

8 seconds before it all sinks in

Put your best face on for the world

Fake another smile and just pretend

But you're just puttin' off the pain

Nothing's ever really gonna change

So let it hurt, let it bleed

Let it take you right down to your knees

Let it burn to the worst degree

May not be what you want, but it's what you need

Sometimes the only way around it

Is to let love do its work

And let it hurt

Yeah, let it hurt

3:28 in the morning

Countin' up the spaces between the rain

You're gettin' used to the rocks at the bottom

Your heart goes numb, but the lonely stays the same

And that's the price you're bound to pay

And there's really nothing anyone can say

Oh, there's only just one way

So let it hurt, let it bleed

Let it take you right down to your knees

Let it burn to the worst degree

May not be what you want, but it's what you need

Sometimes the only way around it

Is to let love do its work

So go on

Yeah, let it hurt

You might just find you're better for it

When you let go and you learn

To let it hurt, let it bleed

Let it take you right down to your knees

Oh...

Sometimes the only way around it

Is to let love do its work

So go on

And let it hurt

Oh, let it hurt

7:42 in the morning

8 seconds before it all sinks in
