  (repeat with drums)
 Verse 1|
Tonight  we drink to youth
 and holding  fast the truth
 don't want  to lose what i had  as a boy
my  heart  still has a beat
 but love  is now a feat
 as common  as a cold day  in L.A.
 Refrain|
 sometimes  when I'm alone I wonder
is  there a spell that I am under
keeping  me from seeing the real  thing
 Chorus |
Love  hurts
 but sometimes  it's a good  hurt
 and it feels  like I'm  alive
Love  sings
 when it  transcends the bad  things
 out of heartache,  try  me
 cause without  love I won't  survive
 Verse 2| Walter Michael De la Cruz Rockz
Tethered  and abused
 stand naked  and accused
 should I  surface, this one  man submarine
I  only  want the truth
 so tonight  we drink to youth
 I never  lose what  I had as a boy
 Refrain|
 sometimes  when I'm alone I wonder
is  there a spell that I am under
keeping  me from seeing the real  thing
 Chorus |
Love  hurts
 but sometimes  it's a good  hurt
 and it feels  like I'm  alive
Love  sings
 when it  transcends the bad things
 out of heartache,  try  me
 cause without  love I won't  survive
 Adlib: ---;
 
 
 
 Chorus | guitar only
Love  hurts
 but sometimes  it's a good  hurt
 and it feels  like I'm  alive
 (with drums)
Love  sings
 when it  transcends the bad things
 out of heartache,  try  me
 cause without  love I won't  survive
Love  hurts  ooohhhhhhh ohhhhhh
love  hurts  cause without  love I won't  survive
Love  hurts  ooohhhhhhh lalala  lalala
love  hurts  cause without  love I won't  survive
