Love Hurts Lyrics

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds' and most
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, oh, love hurts

I'm young, i know, but even so
I know a thing or two - i
learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, oh, love hurts

Some fools
think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools
fool themselves, i guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true, i know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts,
Oh, love hurts

Solo

I know it
isn't true i know it isn't true
Love is just a
lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, oh, love hurts
Oh, love hurts..

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

hmm. its interesting. It seems fairly straightforward, like he's singing what he thinks. "love is a lie" And i think everyone has felt this way. I think he's kind of speaking to god. "I'm Young, i know but even so, i know a thing or two, i learned from you." like, he's learned love. But, maybe no one else feels that way, so, to him it makes it a lie, and its funny, love and hate are very closely related. Sometimes, its hard to decipher. I kind of like the lyrics to this.
