It Only Hurts For a While
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.
You always seek the problems at my door
It's the prettiest problem I choose to ignore
And love will always let you down
And it's ruthless, you're in distress
Why don't you come out and confess
And did the ship already sink long time ago
Did the anchor break it's only we who'd know
See people talking, solving nothing
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
It's a human mystery no one can explain
Why we take the ones who hurt us back again
And love will always let you down
You moved less to his caress
Why don't you come out and confess
And did the ship already sink long time ago
Did the anchor break it's only we who'd know
See people talking, solving nothing
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
Time has knocked the wind out of your sail
No adventure, no fulfillment, just this space
And you could have it all, and lose it all
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
