You always seek the problems
At my door
Its the prettiest problem
I choose to ignore
And love will always let you down
And its ruthless
You're in distress
Why don't you come out and confess
And did the ship already sink long time ago
Did the anchor break
It's only we who'd know
See people talking
Solving nothing
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
It's a human mystery no one can explain
Why we take the ones who hurt us
Back again
And love will always let you down
You moved less
To his caress
Why don't you come out and confess
And did the ship already sink long time ago
Did the anchor break
It's only we who'd know
See people talking
Solving nothing
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
Time has knocked the wind out of your sail
No adventure, no fulfilment
Just this space
And you could have it all
And lose it all
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
It only hurts
It only hurts
It only hurts... for a while
