  • Tonight we drink to youth
    And holding fast to truth
    Don't wanna 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 LA

    Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
    Is there a spell that I am under
    Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

    Love hurts
    But sometimes it's a good hurt
    And it feels like I'm alive
    Love sings
    When it transcends the bad things
    Have a heart and try me
    'Cause without love, I won't survive

    I'm fettered 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'll never lose what I had as a boy

    Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
    Is there a spell that I am under
    Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

    Love hurts
    But sometimes it's a good hurt
    And it feels like I'm alive
    Love sings
    When it transcends the bad things
    Have a heart and try me
    'Cause without love, I won't survive

    Without love, I won't survive

    Love hurts
    But sometimes it's a good hurt
    And it feels like I'm alive
    Love sings
    When it transcends the bad things
    Have a heart and try me
    'Cause without love, I won't survive

    Love hurts, oh oh, love hurts
    Without love, I won't survive
    Love hurts, oh, love hurts
    Without love, I won't survive Writer/s: Ben Kenney, Brandon Boyd, Chris Kilmore, Jose II Pasillas, Michael Einziger
