When Love Cuts Deep

The weight of silence in the air tonight

Cuts through my chest with a blade of light

You say you're here but you feel so far

Loving you feels like chasing a falling star

Love can hurt

Oh it breaks you down

Steals your smile

Turns it to a frown

It gives you wings

Then makes you fall

Love can be the sweetest ache of all

Your words linger like ghosts haunting me

I reach for freedom but I can’t

I see

The tighter I hold

The faster you fade

It’s like building a house in a crashing wave

Every rose leaves behind a thorn

Every fire leaves a heart well worn

But through the ashes

Something will bloom

A melody rising from empty rooms

Love can hurt

Oh it scars the soul

Takes a piece

Makes you feel less whole

But it’s worth the burn

It’s worth the sting

Love writes a song only heartbreak can sing

So let it hurt

Let the ache remain

Through the pain

There's something to gain

Because love can hurt but it makes us feel

And in that hurt

We learn how to heal
