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
