[Chorus] Love is pain, I can feel it in my chest You left a wound no medicine can dress Heartbreak cold, got my pulse out of time They say a broken heart can kill, now I know why Love is pain, every promise turned to blame I survived your goodbye but I ain't the same If this scar has a voice, it would call out your name Love is pain, love is pain [Verse 1] Doctor asked me questions, I just stared at the floor Said my pressure climbed the night you walked out the door Cold sweat on my collar, left hand feeling numb I was counting every heartbeat like a judge with a gun You took the keys, the pictures, the code to my phone Left your coffee cup sitting like a marker on stone Friends said, “Time heals,” but time don't pay that debt Every morning brought the same unpaid regret I learned the heart can crack without a blade in the room Stress can make a healthy body march straight toward doom So I kept my jacket closed, kept my secrets under skin Smiled at the funeral of everything we'd been No sirens in the hallway, no headline, no crime Just a man losing breath one memory at a time You called it moving on, I called it losing blood Love dressed up like heaven, then it flooded me with mud [Chorus] Love is pain, I can feel it in my chest You left a wound no medicine can dress Heartbreak cold, got my pulse out of time They say a broken heart can kill, now I know why Love is pain, every promise turned to blame I survived your goodbye but I ain't the same If this scar has a voice, it would call out your name Love is pain, love is pain [Verse 2] Your name still lives rent-free behind my ribs Every beat is evidence of what you did I don't blame the moon, don't blame fate, don't blame rain A heart can drown in silence, make a body feel the strain My blood runs high when the old songs start Adrenaline remembers every corner of your heart The nurse said, “Breathe slow,” but the room got thin I was fighting with a ghost I used to let in You taught me trust, then you charged me for the lesson Left me with a pulse and a lifetime of questions I saw strong men fold when the phone stopped ringing Saw bright eyes fade when the memories kept singing This ain't just poetry, this is flesh, this is bone Grief can turn a warm house into a medical zone So if you love somebody, don't weaponize goodbye Some wounds don't bleed, but they still know how to take a life [Bridge] If your chest feels heavy, don't hide it in the dark Tell somebody what is hurting before it reaches your heart Pain ain't weakness, silence ain't pride Get help while there's still a road back inside [Chorus] Love is pain, I can feel it in my chest You left a wound no medicine can dress Heartbreak cold, got my pulse out of time They say a broken heart can kill, now I know why Love is pain, every promise turned to blame I survived your goodbye but I ain't the same If this scar has a voice, it would call out your name Love is pain, love is pain [Outro] Love is pain, but I won't let it be the end I carry what it taught me, not the shape of who you meant A heart can break hard, but it can learn to beat I walked through the dark and put my life back on its feet
