Seven forty two in the morning Eight seconds before it all sinks in Put your best face on for the world Fake another smile and just pretend But you're just puttin' off the pain Nothing's ever really gonna change So let it hurt, let it bleed Let it take you right down to your knees Let it burn to the worst degree May not be what you want, but it's what you need Sometimes the only way around it Is to let love do it's work And let it hurt Yeah, let it hurt Three twenty eight in the morning Countin' up the spaces between the rain You're gettin' used to the rocks at the bottom Your heart goes numb, but the lonely stays the same And that's the price you're bound to pay And there's really nothing anyone can say Oh, there's only just one way So let it hurt, let it bleed Let it take you right down to your knees Let it burn to the worst degree May not be what you want, but it's what you need Sometimes the only way around it Is to let love do it's work So go on Yeah, let it hurt You might just find you're better for it When you let go and you learn To let it hurt, let it bleed Let it take you right down to your knees Oh Sometimes the only way around it Is to let love do it's work So go on And let it hurt Oh, let it hurt Seven forty two in the morning Eight seconds before it all sinks in
