Speak softly, sometimes words can land so hard Come near me, we don't even have to talk Practice of breaking heart Can become something all around And then look on your face What you're saying ain't light to trace You know it's gonna hurt Get in line with the broken hearted, oh (Oh) You know it's going to hurt That's the way the whole thing started, oh, oh (Oh) You know it's gonna hurt And so we'll see, that's the pressures of our words And we'll long through, we'll long through All our faith and consolation If added up the pleasures and pain Can equal shares of things unsaid Some things we'll have to be right about While we're so cruel to ourselves You know it's gonna hurt Get in line with the broken hearted (Oh) You know it's going to hurt That's the way the whole thing started, oh, oh (Oh) Tell this thing you lose, you love him baby We just need a little time Even if it takes forever to mend this heart Mend this heart of yours and this heart of mine Oh, you know it's gonna hurt Get in a line with the broken hearted, oh (Oh) You know it's going to hurt That's the way the whole thing started, oh (Oh) You know it's gonna hurt (You know it's gonna hurt) That's the way the whole thing started (Oh) (You know it's gonna hurt) What becomes of the broken hearted (Oh) Yours and mine (You know it's gonna hurt) Just need a little time (Oh) And the healing baby (You know it's gonna hurt) You know it's going to hurt (Oh) And that's the way the whole thing started (You know it's gonna hurt)
