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.
Remember when you left
You had your own rules about playing the game
And any day, you could walk away feeling no pain
Now look at yourself
You're all hung up on somebody else
And in your eyes i see all the signs of the misery
That you laid on me
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?
You used to be so proud
Now, your head's a little lower
And you walk slower
And you don't talk so loud
You've gotten wise
You know how love can build you up one moment
And the next, cut you down to size
Then you discover
All she told you was a bunch of lies
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?
Now you come to me
Yeah, you hurt so bad
You wanna feel the security
Of a love you once had
Oh, but i can't open doors
And my arms can't ever
Take the place of her
'cause no other could ever
Take the place of yours
So what can i tell you
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
