About this song

What Love Hurts is about

An original song, not the well-known one of the same name. It's about a love that cuts deep and still pulls her back, and it ends on an honest admission: "Love hurts, but I'd do it again."

Love Hurts lyrics

I felt the spark when you said my name
A wildfire I couldn’t contain
Every word, a symphony
But the silence cuts so deep in me
You held my heart in fragile hands
Now it’s shattered like grains of sand

How can something so beautiful sting
Love’s a blade with a broken wing

Love hurts, like a flame that burns too bright
A kiss in the dark, then lost to the night
It lifts you up, then tears you apart
A bittersweet ache that scars the heart
Love hurts, like a shadow you can’t outrun
A storm that fades when the damage is done
But I keep falling, I’ll never learn
Because even when it hurts, I still yearn

The echoes of you linger on my skin,
A battle I lose, I’ll never win
I trace the lines where your love once stayed
Now they’re scars that won’t ever fade
Every tear’s a melody
A broken tune that won’t set me free

How can something so beautiful sting
Love’s a crown made of shattered things

Love hurts, like a flame that burns too bright
A kiss in the dark, then lost to the night
It lifts you up, then tears you apart
A bittersweet ache that scars the heart
Love hurts, like a shadow you can’t outrun
A storm that fades when the damage is done
But I keep falling, I’ll never learn
Because even when it hurts, I still yearn

I don’t regret the highs we found
Even as it all came crashing down
The pain reminds me I’m alive
A cruel dance that keeps me in the fight
Love’s a war I’ll keep losing for you
A wound I’d bear just to feel it true

Love hurts, like a flame that burns too bright
A kiss in the dark, then lost to the night
It lifts you up, then tears you apart
A bittersweet ache that scars the heart
Love hurts, like a shadow you can’t outrun
A storm that fades when the damage is done
But I keep falling, I’ll never learn
Because even when it hurts, I still yearn

Love hurts, but I’d do it again
Chasing the fire, again and again
Love hurts, it cuts to the bone
But in the pain, I’ve never felt more home
