Shenandoah - It Ain't Love Until It Hurts lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was younger and love was easy to come by All it ever caught was my eye I thought that's how it worked But now the hunger is harder to satisfy And it cuts deeper than a knife But it ain't love It ain't love until it hurts [Chorus] It ain't love until it hurts Too much to leave it alone It ain't love until it cuts All the way to the bone No matter how bad it feels When it bleeds, you know it's real The more it costs, the more it's worth 'Cause it ain't love until it hurts [Verse 2] You make a few mistakes You give and take and learn to bend You become enemies and best friends But it's for better or for worse It takes the heartaches A long way now and then To bring you back together again But it ain't love No, it ain't love until it hurts [Chorus] It ain't love until it hurts Too much to leave it alone It ain't love until it cuts All the way to the bone No matter how bad it feels When it bleeds, you know it's real The more it costs, the more it's worth 'Cause it ain't love until it hurts [Tag] Too much to leave it alone It ain't love until it cuts All the way to the bone [Fade out]
