[Verse 1]
I've spent a lifetime looking for love
Just when I find it, it comes undone
I've tried so hard to make love happen
Like some never ending pattern
I end up on the sad side of the fun

[Chorus]
Hurting comes easy
Hurting comes easy
Hurting comes easy
For me

[Verse 2]
Well, I've seen people that got it made
They've got someone and love looks great
But me, I've been to every doctor
I've tried it wild and tried it proper
And I always end up watching love walk away
That's okay

[Chorus]
Hurting comes easy
Hurting comes easy
Hurting comes easy
For me

[Verse 3]
I've gotten used to getting over
And hopefully as I grow older
Love won't be so difficult to see
But now for me

[Chorus]
Hurting comes easy
Hurting comes easy
Hurting comes easy
For me
Hurting comes easy
Hurting comes easy
Hurting comes easy
For me
