Lyrics
World Of Hurt
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Day one God smiled
Gave us all the wisdom of a newborn child
But by the time we take our first step
We've already begun to forget
What the heart knows the heart sees
We're just as much the forest as we are the trees
Every little seed trying to find
Where the light comes from
Chorus:
It's a world of hurt
Nothing works
It's a lonely little planet made of dust and dirt
Who'd ever think that in the midst of all this
Something as beautiful as love exists
And when I hold you and you hold me
Heaven doesn't seem like such a mystery
Darling in a world of hurt
You make me feel so good
Day one of our love
Two heartbroken people scared to trust too much
Oh but here it comes that feelin' again
That every lover swears will never end
We thought we'd been there, done that,
but when we kissed
We knew we'd never been here...
We've never done this
All the walls come tumblin' down
When you love someone
Chorus
