Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Oh, I was broken-hearted
Feeling sad and all alone
I thought I was going crazy
I thought the pain would last forever
I thought he'd never ever hurt me and hurt me
Over and over again
[Verse 2]
Oh, when you tried into my world
You showed the loving ways of how
A guy should treat a girl
The love you give that makes me breathe again
I've found someone who feels me
An understanding friend till the end
[Chorus]
I know the future no one can see
But I feel deep in my heart
You will stay with me, eternally
So just love me, even every day
And hold me in your arms now
Please, love the hurt away
I'll make it go away, yes, I will
Oh, hurt away (Oh)
[Verse 3]
I see Heaven in your eyes
Tell me why would he make you cry, and lie?
He must have been out of his mind
I would never hurt you, baby
Don't let one fool turn you cold (Oh, no)
You've got a heart of gold
[Verse 4]
Heart of gold
I love everything about you
All I know is, every word, I take it straight to you
A special part of I give for everything I do
Nobody else comes close to the love you give
Body and soul
I'm gonna love you for as long as I live
[Chorus]
And I know
It's not easy letting go (No, it's not easy)
But I won't let you fall
Together, you and me, we've got it all
I just love you, more and more each day
I rest my head on your shoulder
Please, love the hurt away
Love the hurt away
[Chorus]
I know, I know the future no one can see
But I feel deep in my heart
You will stay with me, eternally
I just love you
More and more each day
(No, oh) Please love the hurt away (Oh, yeah)
Oh, my love
Love the hurt away (Oh, oh, yeah)
Please, love the hurt away
