You Have to Hurt

Lyrics

(Frank Musker, Dominic King)
 'I'm 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 didn't 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 won't know about love
 And the reason you're alive
 You have to hurt
 She said, 'I know he'll never leave me
 I never felt it deep inside like this before?
 It was good to see her, believe me
 But I couldn't 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, you're so sweet
 Thinking love runs smooth
 You don't know the half of it
 We laugh until we lose
 There's no way around it
 (Chorus)
