you have to hurt

Written：Frank Musker/Dominic King
Im in love with him, she said
With all the innocence of tender years
But somewhere down the road ahead
I could see the same eyes
Filled with bitter tears
I had the inclination
To tell her not to drop her guard
To tell her that life can be hard
But I didnt have the heart
[Chorus:]
You have to hurt - to understand
You have to get by the best you can
Until you hurt - until you cry
You wont know about love
And the reason youre alive
You have to hurt
She said, I know hell never leave me
I never felt it deep inside like this before
It was good to see her, believe me
But I couldnt stand to hear this anymore
All that expectation
Too naive to really see
Maybe she knew better than me
It was better just to let her be
[Chorus]
Little sister, youre so sweet
Thinking love runs smooth
You dont know the half of it
We laugh until we lose
Theres no way around it
[Chorus]
