How long does it hurt when a heart breaks how long can you stand the pain

How long does one dream when a dream die and only the mem'ries remain

It seems it must take forever to forget the love you once knew

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks how long must the heart ache for you

[ guitar ]

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks oh how many tears must fall

Before one is free from the chains of a love that's beyond all recall

I keep saying soon I'll forget you but somehow I'll never do

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks as long as I keep loving you
