Once upon a time, my advice to you
Would have been to go out and find yourself a whore
But I guess I've grown up
'Cause I don't give that kind of advice anymore
Gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
And I was twenty seven when I figured out
That blowing my brains out wasn't the answer
So I decided maybe I should find a way
To make this world work out for me
And my good friend Paul was eighty three
When he told me 'To love is to feel pain'
And I thought about that a lot back then
And I think about that again and again
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
'To love is to feel pain'
There ain't no way around it
The very nature of love
Is to grieve when it's over
The secret to a happy ending
Is knowing when to roll the credits
Better roll 'em now
Before something else goes wrong
No, it's a wonderful world
If you can put aside the sadness
And hang on to every ounce of beauty upon you
Better take the time to know it
If you feel anything at all
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
So if what you have is working for you
Or you think that it stand's a reasonable chance
And for whatever's broken seems fixable
And nothing's beyond repair
If you still think about each other
And smile before you remember
How screwed up it's gotten
Or maybe still dream of a time less rotten
Remember, it ain't too late to take a deep breath
And throw yourself into it
With everything you've got
It's great to be alive
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
It's gonna be a world of hurt
