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
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
