[Verse 1]
Sometimes love is pain
Yeah, it hurts for a little while
Some things you can't change
Preaching to the choir
Knives in the back ready to attack
Knives in the back
Run it right back like a maniac
Run it right back
Check check
Run it right back
Run it right back
And the truth is
[Chorus]
If it doesn’t hurt at all
Then it doesn’t mean a thing
I never knew that I could feel this way
If it doesn’t hurt at all
There’s nothing left to save
Cause holding onto hope
Is a different kind of pain
[Verse 2]
We all got vices
We all got choices to make
It's hard to stay
And hard to walk away
You lied to me
Spinning in the dark
It took me years to see
That you had sucked the life out of me
[Chorus]
If it doesn’t hurt at all
Then it doesn’t mean a thing
I never knew that I could feel this way
If it doesn’t hurt at all
There’s nothing left to save
Cause holding onto hope
Is a different kind of pain
A different kind of pain
A different kind of pain
[Breakdown]
Run it right back!
Get it!
Knives in the back
Knives in the back
Knives in the back
(Sometimes love is pain)
Knives in the back
Knives in the back
Knives in the back
[Chorus]
If it doesn’t hurt at all
Then it doesn’t mean a thing
I never knew that I could feel this way
If it doesn’t hurt at all
There’s nothing left to save
Cause holding onto hope
Is a different kind of pain
A different kind of pain
A different kind of pain

Gaslighting, manipulation, narcissistic deceit and betrayal… this song was written while trapped and is sung now while free. If you’re in a toxic relationship and are waiting for a sign to get out…this is it.
