I could cry a few tears, take the edge off the pain Let you leave and get lost in the pouring rain Close my eyes and take my mind to a better place Crack open this bottle, climb in far enough Till my heart has no feeling and my mind is numb By then I bet that I'll forget I was ever in love But I'm not gonna let myself off that easy So I'll let it hurt for a little while If it's bad enough then maybe I'll remember this feeling This state I'm in, if I feel like I'm dying Maybe then I won't let it happen again I'll let it hurt, let it hurt for a little while I could call up an old friend, say I need to talk Turn on the TV or take a walk If I tried then maybe I could shake it off But I'm not gonna let myself off that easy So I'll let it hurt for a little while If it's bad enough then maybe I'll remember this feeling This state I'm in, if I feel like I'm dying Maybe then I won't let it happen again I'll let it hurt, let it hurt I'm gonna let it hurt I'll remember this feeling, this state I'm in If I feel like I'm dying, maybe then I won't let it happen again I'll let it hurt, let it hurt I'm gonna let it hurt And I'll let it hurt for a little while
