[VERSE 1] We were electric, burning through the dark Two little matches throwing off sparks You said forever like you meant every word Now every promise is the thing that hurts I see your shadow when the lights go blue Hear your voice in everything I do We had a moment, we had it all Now I’m dancing while I watch it fall [PRE-CHORUS] Tell me why the sweetest taste Always leaves a little bitter on my tongue Tell me why the heart we break Is always the one we thought we’d keep forever [CHORUS] LOVE HURTS, love hurts But I keep coming back for more LOVE HURTS, love hurts Like a heartbeat crashing through the floor You make me high, you make me low You make me wanna lose control LOVE HURTS, love hurts But I don’t wanna feel nothing anymore [POST-CHORUS] Oh-oh-oh, it hurts Oh-oh-oh, it hurts Love hurts But I want it anyway [VERSE 2] Pink sky fading into ultraviolet We look so perfect, but we’re starting a riot You pull me closer, then you push away We’re playing with fire every night, every day I know the ending, still I press rewind Looking for the version where you stayed mine Maybe we’re crazy, maybe we’re doomed But every broken piece still leads me back to you [PRE-CHORUS] Tell me why the sweetest taste Always leaves a little bitter on my tongue Tell me why the heart we break Is always the one we thought we’d keep forever [CHORUS] LOVE HURTS, love hurts But I keep coming back for more LOVE HURTS, love hurts Like a heartbeat crashing through the floor You make me high, you make me low You make me wanna lose control LOVE HURTS, love hurts But I don’t wanna feel nothing anymore [HYPERPOP BREAK] Heartbreak! Bass shake! Tears fall! Walls break! Glitch it, flip it Turn the pain into a hit Love me, leave me Either way, you won’t defeat me [BRIDGE — BELTING] Maybe I should let you go! Maybe I should save my soul! But every time I close my eyes I see you underneath the lights And I— I still want you! Even when you hurt me! I still want you! Even when it burns me! [FINAL CHORUS] LOVE HURTS, love hurts But I keep coming back for more LOVE HURTS, love hurts Like a heartbeat crashing through the floor You make me high, you make me low You make me wanna lose control LOVE HURTS, love hurts But I don’t wanna feel nothing anymore [FINAL CHORUS — STACKED HARMONIES] LOVE HURTS! Love hurts! And I still want more! LOVE HURTS! Love hurts! Till my heart can’t take no more! You make me high, you make me low You make me wanna lose control LOVE HURTS, love hurts— But I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
