Gregg Martinez - You've Got to Hurt Before You Heal lyrics

[Verse 1] When you lose the one you love your heart goes through changes Especially when the sweet memories still hold their thrill And just when you think the pain is all gone Don't fool yourself cause here's the deal That's the way love works You've got to hurt before you heal Oh yes you have You're gonna cry oh you're gonna cry When the tears they may stop falling They may stop falling down your face But they still fall down your heart You'll never know how long a wound will take to heal It might take months it could take years [Chorus] But that's the way love works You've got to hurt before you heal I said before you heal [Verse 2] You're gonna cry oh you're gonna cry When the tears they may stop falling They may stop falling down your face But they still fall down your heart Oh you never know how long the wound takes to heal Might take months it could take years But that's the way love works You've got to hurt before you heal Oh yes you have Just when you think the pain is all gone Don't fool yourself cause here's the deal [Chorus] That's the way love works You've got to hurt before you heal Oh yes you have That's the way love works Lord you've got to hurt before you heal Lets sing it one more time y'all That's the way love works You've got to hurt before you heal I said before you heal That's the way love works
