How Long Does It Hurt Lyrics

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks
How long can you stand the pain
How long does one dream when a dream dies
And only the memories remain
It seems it must take forever
To forget the love you once knew
How long does it hurt when a heart breaks
How long must the heart ache for you
How long does it hurt when a heart breaks
Oh how many tears must fall
Before one is free from the chains of
A love that's beyond all recall
I keep saying soon I'll forget you
But somehow I never do
How long does it hurt when a heart breaks
As long as I keep loving you
