HURTS

"IT ONLY HURTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE", THEY SAY,

BUT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT BROKEN HEARTS.

SOME HEARTS HURT FOR A GREAT DEAL LONGER,

AND SOME HURT SHALL NEVER DEPART.

"IT ONLY HURTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE", THEY SAY,

WHEN TEARS ARE STREAMING DOWN MY FACE.

HOW CAN I BELIEVE WHAT THEY TELL ME,

FOR MY HEART'S STREWN ALL OVER THE PLACE?

"IT ONLY HURTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE", THEY SAY,

BUT THEY ARE JUST SPOUTING WORDS,

FOR THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN IN MY PLACE,

NOR HAD A HEART THAT WAS BROKEN FOR GOOD.
