Sometimes it just has to hurt
before you can see what you're truly worth.
Sometimes new beginnings start with good bye
and happiness is gained after you cry.
Sometimes you have to leave behind the thing
that colored your world, that made your heart sing.
Sometimes lost love is for the best
and dreams just have to be put to rest.
Sometimes it just has to hurt...
I didn't see what I was worth
until the morning after the night we shared--
until AFTER I realized you didn't care--
until AFTER I noticed my anger and pain
was useless and therefor, totally in vain--
until AFTER I couldn't love you anymore;
but now my broken wings will soar
and fly beyond your lovely words,
and find the love that I deserve;
and I'll be true not only to myself
but also to the world, to everyone else.
Sometimes it just has to hurt...
You never saw what I was worth.
You kept me in the palm of your hands
and took me through things I couldn't withstand;
and I know I did what was right for me
because when I left you didn't even fight for me.
You didn't even tell me that you'd miss me--
I said it was over and you let that be...
Sometimes it just has to hurt.
It's sad, you'll never see what I'm worth.
So now, our love returns to dirt.
Oh yes, sometimes it just HAS to hurt...
