7:42 in the morning
8 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


Chorus:


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


3:28 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

Chorus:


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


7:42 in the morning
8 seconds before it all sinks in
