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' |
|
Cause I don't give that kind of advice anymore |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
I was 27 when |
|
I figured out |
|
That blowing my brains out wasn't the answer |
|
So I decided, maybe |
|
I should find a way |
|
To make this world work out for me |
|
And my good friend |
|
Paul was 83 |
|
When he told me that, "To love is to feel pain" |
|
I thought about that a lot back then |
|
I think about that again and again |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt"To love is to feel pain" there ain't no way around it |
|
The very nature of love is to grieve when it's over |
|
The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits |
|
Better roll 'em now before something else goes wrong |
|
No, 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 |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
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 whatever'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 |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
|
Gonna be a world of hurt |
