Lyrics
V1
So hard waking up to face the day without you
It?s like you cut the lights when you went away
Can?t stand the feeling of history repeating
You know, I have felt this way before
And though I knew the danger I let love inside my door
And now I wonder
CHORUS:
Loving hurts so much, but I want it
All that?s left is dust, just rebuild it
Even though I?ve cried, I try again
Oh, I?ll try again
V2
Misery, old friend, hello pain
Here you are once more to stake your claim
Still got my old scars, they just make it all much harder
I don?t want to go through it this time
But like some kind of junkie I can?t seem to keep away
I can?t explain
CHORUS:
Loving hurts so much, but I want it
All that?s left is dust, just rebuild it
Even though I?ve cried, I try again
Oh, I?ll try again and maybe one day
I?ll fly again
MIDDLE EIGHT:
Oh, guess I should?ve learned from my mistakes
Without love, would?ve had a life without heartache
Without the joy loving gives to me
Without the meaning, the reason to be
CHORUS
