Why It Hurts - Jon McLaughlin

I used to be all alone

Empty house, empty home

And then you came along

Now my heart is gone

I never knew what pain was

Now the world’s dangerous

So many edges

All coming to get us

That’s why it hurts when I love you

That’s why I have to have you by my side

That’s why it hurts, it’s supposed to

That’s how it feels when you do it right

That’s why it hurts

I used to laugh, now I cry

And the truth is I lie

Next to you every night

Totally terrified

The more in love that we fall

The more amount of control

And baby if I lost you

I don’t know what I’d do

That’s why it hurts when I love you

That’s why I have to have you by my side

That’s why it hurts, it’s supposed to

That’s how it feels when you do it right

Feels when you do it right

So don’t ever leave me

Don’t ever leave me

No, don’t ever leave me alone

Pain is a feeling

We feel when a real thing

Stops your breathing cold

And that’s why it hurts when I love you

That’s why I have to have you by my side

That’s why it hurts, it’s supposed to

That’s how it feels when you do it right

That’s how it feels
