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 putting off the pain

Nothing's ever really gonna change

So let it hurt

Let it beat

Let it take ya right down to your knees

Let it burn to the worst degree

May not be what ya want but it's what ya 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, counting up the spaces between the rain

You're getting 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

Let it hurt

Let it bleed

Let it take ya right down to your knees

Let it burn to the worst degree

May not be what ya want but it's what ya need

Sometimes the only way around it is to let love do its work

So go on, yeah, let it hurt

Ya might just find your better for it

When ya let go and you learn

To let it hurt

Let it bleed

Let it take ya right down to your knees

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
