It Hurts

[Bry89]

For months, I held a secret
Never make its way to you
Not sure how it'd make you feel
Even if it's the truth

There's a time I've to open up
No matter the impact
Can't believe I was so foolish
Worst moment I've ever had

It hurts, just to tell
My thoughts of you
It hurts, like a cutting knife
To the throat
It hurts, for me to see you cry
Where I don't intend
It hurts, so much more
To know that this is goodbye

Maybe it was for the best
To never dream of this
When it only makes problems
Instead of granting bliss

There were these pictures
Filling up in me
Trying to convince you
Yet it makes both hearts bleed

At least you were a friend
The best I've known
A one of a kind
A kind, gentle soul

Without you, there's nothing
Left for me to see now
My own imprudence
Has brought me right down

It hurts, just to tell
My thoughts of you
It hurts, like a cutting knife
To the throat
It hurts, for me to see you cry
Where I don't intend
It hurts, so much more
To know that this is goodbye

Alone, and empty
What have I done?
Whatever my actions
A new form of pain has begun

I'll admit, I was desperate
I was tempting fate
To cure my loneliness
That I lived day by day

The intricate concept
Doesn't seem right for me
The fake imagery of love
What is there to see?

I'm lost in the ocean of mistakes
I've lost you for life
Although we're miles apart now
You're still on my mind

Love...
Emotion...
Telling the truth
It hurts, it hurts so bad

A true tale of longing...the lull and lowest point before life can swell into joy again. Well captured.

Even more painful when I recently lost someone, just because I told my feelings for her. Yeah, love hurts, literally.

The flip side of that coin is that it's the greatest joy possible - they do go together. Don't squander the valley-time - poetic inspiration is drawn from everything.
