A World of Hurt

Once upon a time, my advice to you would have been go out and find yourself a whore But I guess I've grown up, because I don't give that kind of advice anymore Gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt It's 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 My good friend Paul was 83 when he told me, "To love is to feel pain" And I thought about that back then and I think about that again and again It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt "To love is to feel pain," there ain't no way around it Very nature of love is to grieve when it is over 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 It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt It's 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 for there'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 It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt It's gonna be a world of hurt
