Lyrics

Lov ing can hurt.

Lov ing can hurt some times.

But it’s the on ly thing that I know.

And when it gets hard

you know it can get hard some times

it is the on ly thing that makes us feel a live.

We keep this love in a pho to graph.

We made these mem o ries for (A)our selves.

Where our eyes are nev er clos ing, hearts are nev er bro ken, and times (D)are for ev er fro zen still.

So you can (D)keep me in side the pock et of your (A)ripped jeans, hold in’ me clo ser till our (Bm)eyes meet and you won’t ev er be a (G9)lone.

And if you (D)hurt me, well, that’s o kay, ba by.

On ly (A)words bleed.

In side these pa ges, you just (Bm)hold me.

And I won’t ev er let you (G9)go.

Wait for me to come home.
