[Verse 1]
Held your hand while I watched you cry
Felt your faith crumble just like mine
Now you say hello, I say goodbye
I can't change your heart, how hard I try
[Chorus]
And if love hurts, why do we chase it?
And if love burns, why do we say "I do"?
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know that love hurts
And if love hurts, why do we make it?
And if love burns, what more can I do?
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know that love hurts
[Post-Chorus]
And that's how I know I love you
And that's how I know I love you
[Verse 2]
You left a hole that nothing can ever fill
You left me with memories that no one can ever steal
You left me broken, but I know I broke you more
And it fucks me up down to my core
[Chorus]
And if love hurts, why do we chase it?
And if love burns, why do we say "I do"?
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know that love hurts
And if love hurts, why do we make it?
And if love burns, what more can I do?
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know that love hurts
[Verse 3]
We live in a world full of pain prevention
But we run to love without apprehension
I say, "Cupid, what a wicked thing to do"
So I mix my Adderall with some alcohol
To numb my head, and my heart, and all
Unhealthy remedy, but it will get me through
[Chorus]
And if love hurts, why do we chase it?
And if love burns, why do we say "I do"?
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know that love hurts
And if love hurts, why do we make it?
And if love burns, what more can I do?
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know that love hurts
[Post-Chorus]
And that's how I know I love you
And that's how I know I love you
And that's how I know I love you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
[Outro]
And that's how I know I love you
And that's how I know I love you
And that's how I know I love you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
And that's how I know I love you

I actually wrote this song mid-breakup a few years ago when we were going through some tough times. I sang it into my voice memos, actually. The chorus I sang in the bathroom. This song’s just a classic heartbreak song. There’s a bit of a 4 Non Blondes reference, too. So in 4 Non Blondes, there’s th...
