When you try and you try
For the best things in life
You can face another day
And your love’s been thrown back
In your lonely face
Yes, you threw it all away
I’ve tried so many times
But I got caught up inside
My mind gets so closed
It should be open wide
But only love hurts
When you’re down and in love
With someone who don’t want you
Only love hurts
When she don’t want to be by your side
Only love hurts
When the truth is there to see
Only love hurts
Dear, look out you window
See the sun
Oh, it might as well be rain
And your sleepless nights
With a long cold sweat
You feel the pain again
I’ve tried so many times
But my heart got in the way
And I tell myself
Tomorrows another day
But only love hurts
When you’re down and in love
With someone who don’t want you
Only love hurts
When she don’t want to be by your side
Only love hurts
When the truth is there to see
Only love hurts
Well I tried and I tried
But fade didn’t die
As I face another day
And the words that you said
Ran too close in my head
Maybe love will come one day
I’ve tried so many times
But I got caught up inside
My mind gets so closed
It should be open wide
But only love hurts
When you’re down and in love
With someone who don’t want you
Only love hurts
When she don’t want to be by your side
Only love hurts
When the truth is there to see
Only love hurts
