A World of Hurt

Once upon a time my advice to you would have been go out and find yourself a w***e

But I guess I've grown up because I don't give that kind of advice anymore

Gonna be a world of hurt

Gonna be a world of hurt

Gonna be a world of hurt

I was 27 when I figured out that blowing my brains wasn't the answer

So I decided maybe I should find a way to make this world work out for me

And my good friend Paul was 83 when he told me that To love is to feel pain

And I thought about that then and I've thought about that again and again

Gonna be a world of hurt

Gonna be a world of hurt

Gonna be a world of hurt

To love is to feel pain there ain't no way around it

The very nature of love is to grieve when it is over

The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to role the credits

Better role them now before something else goes wrong

Know it's a wonderful world if you can put aside the sadness

And hang on to every ounce of beauty upon you

Better take the time to know it

If you feel anything at all

Gonna be a world of hurt

Gonna be a world of hurt

Gonna be a world of hurt

So if what you have is working for you or you think that it can stand a reasonable chance and whatever's broken seems fixable and nothing's beyond repair

If you still think about each other and smile before you remember how screwed up it's gotten or maybe dream of a time less rotten

Remember it ain't too late to take a deep breath and throw yourself into it with everything you got

It's great to be alive

Gonna be a world of hurt

Gonna be a world of hurt

Gonna be a world of hurt
