Why does love hurt like this

🎵 “Why Does Love Hurt Like This”

Intro:

I’m staring at the ceiling, wondering what went wrong,

Friday night’s supposed to feel right, but it just feels long.

I gave you my forever, but you keep walking away,

And I’m left here with questions that don’t fade away.

Verse 1:

Why do you tear me apart, instead of pulling me close?

Why do you play with my heart like it’s just another ghost?

You flirt like a stranger, you smile then you hide,

I wanted a partner, not a rollercoaster ride.

Verse 2:

I didn’t marry for moments, I married for life,

For laughter and memories, not just the fight.

We were supposed to grow old, side by side,

Now I’m just trying to hold what’s left inside.

Chorus:

Why does love hurt like this?

Why do we fall just to miss?

We promised forever, but it feels like goodbye,

I’m reaching for heaven, but I’m living in why.

Why does love hurt like this?

Verse 3:

There’s a back door open, shadows in our hall,

We’re running from the truth, pretending through it all.

Why can’t we lock it, throw away the key,

And start over again — just you and me?

Verse 4:

I prayed to God just to make it stop,

Said I’d never end it, I’d never drop.

But I’m tired of fighting a one-way flame,

And I can’t tell if love still knows my name.

Bridge:

I looked online, thought I found someone new,

But I was just chasing what I lost in you.

It’s hard to heal when the heart still bleeds,

And love’s just a ghost of what it used to be.

Chorus (reprise):

Why does love hurt like this?

Why do we break when we kiss?

We built forever, now it’s falling apart,

I’m living in pieces of a once-whole heart.

Outro:

Maybe this story ends in goodbye,

But I still believe love don’t have to die.

If you ever find the heart you missed,

You’ll know why love… hurts like this.
