[Verse 1]

You know my will is broken

You've got my heart on hold

I'm lying here in pieces, so cold

It gets so hard to handle

All the things you need to say

But I guess I heard it all before anyway


[Chorus]

Oh, is love such a blessing or a curse

Either way

Truth hurts


[Pre-Chorus]

Well there'll be no more running

Now I've got you face to face

I want to know who you've been loving in my place

You said, you said I had it coming

Try to hold my head up high

'Cause love gave me wings and left me paralyzed

Ooh, there's nothing left alive

As we watch the spirits die

The world keeps turning

My heart keeps learning

Oh, do you know where the guilty sleep


[Guitar Solo]


[Pre-Chorus]

Babe, I've got my pride

Somehow I will survive

The world keeps turning

My heart keeps learning

Do you know where the lonely sleep tonight


[Verse 2]

Another fallen angel

How far I just can't tell

Living without love is a living hell


[Chorus]

Tell me, why is love such a blessing or a curse

Baby either way

Truth hurts


[Outro]

Baby, I've got my pride

Somehow I will survive

My heart keeps learning

But don't know which is worse

But one thing that I know is that

Truth hurts

Truth hurts

Truth hurts

Truth hurts

(Truth hurts)
