Hurt is no stranger to me
And oh how well I know misery
You’ve always hurt me
But I always forgive
And I’ll hurt for as long as I love you
And I’ll love you for as long as I live
Oh it’s my fault for loving you so deeply
I’d give you my love completely
I’d give you love but hurt is all you give
And I hurt for as long as I love you
And I’ll love you for as long as I live

For as long as I love you, there’ll be pain
Though tears come and go
My love remains the same
I’ll always forgive you
You know that I will
And I hurt for as long as I love you
And I’ll love you for as long as I live

Yes I’ve hurt for as long as I loved you
And I’ll love you for as long as I live
