Verse 1:
What can you do when you're hurt like this?
So many thoughts runnin' through your mind, you're pissed
You're sad, you're mad, and you don't know what to do
You feel like it's all over, your life is through
A knife is being driven straight through your heart
The excruciating pain results from being apart
Your insides are being torn left and right
'Cuz the woman that you love has taken flight
You don't know what to do, you're so confused
'Cuz you didn't do a thing to deserve this abuse
And yet, she walked straight outta your life
There wasn't much fighting, no, there wasn't a strife
She said that she just wants to be free
She needs some time away from the relationship, you see
She said she wants to be young and have her own fun
And you want to respect that, but the damage is done
Since you've been hurt, you just can't comprehend
And the wound in your heart won't easily mend
You just want to put this whole thing behind ya
But something's always serving as a constant reminder
Every time you see her, it drives you crazy
The passion of your thoughts makes your mind a little hazy
You can't stop thinkin' 'bout the times you had
The memories of everything--good times and bad
And as you think about it more and more, the hurt gets worse
Tears bubble in your eyes, just waiting to burst
Damn it, it hurts, you need some help from above
To heal this pain from love

Chorus:
Damn, my heart hurts, I'm in so much pain
I'm askin' God to protect me if I'm ever in the game
Again, I wonder when my pain from love will cease
Heal my broken heart, Lord, make it one piece
(Repeat 2x)

Verse 2:
The pain that I feel is a pain like no other
Never thought it would hurt so much to lose my lover
On the first night of summer, we went to the park
We sat down and talked in the peaceful dark
I couldn't stand to hear what she was tellin' me
She couldn't be attached, so she set herself free
She still wants us to maintain as best friends
But that's hard, 'cuz she's not even trying to make amends
What should I do?  Many emotions have clashed
Mad, confused, and sad, feeling like I've been thrashed
I can't even imagine us being apart
I guess I never felt pain, until I lost my heart
That's why it's so tough to just get on and live
The pain that she's caused, I must first forgive
And this pain is so intense, it's pierced a whole in my heart
If I could make things better, then all over I'd start
But that's just it, I can't do a thing
I can't make it better and this helplessness is killin'
I'll always want to be with her, for that, I'll strive
But sometimes, I'd rather be dead than alive
If I stay and be patient, there's no guarantee
That some day in the future, she'll  come back to me
So now I think it's best for me to try move on
I'm sick of being patient and waitin' so long
Like Boyz II Men said, "It's So Hard to say Goodbye"
And when I think about it, I just want to cry
'Cuz damn it, this hurts, I need some help from above
To heal this pain from love

Chorus
