  • Seven forty two in the morning
    Eight seconds before it all sinks in
    Put your best face on for the world
    Fake another smile and just pretend
    But you're just puttin' off the pain
    Nothing's ever really gonna change

    So let it hurt, let it bleed
    Let it take you right down to your knees
    Let it burn to the worst degree
    May not be what you want, but it's what you need
    Sometimes the only way around it
    Is to let love do it's work
    And let it hurt
    Yeah, let it hurt

    Three twenty eight in the morning
    Countin' up the spaces between the rain
    You're gettin' used to the rocks at the bottom
    Your heart goes numb, but the lonely stays the same
    And that's the price you're bound to pay
    And there's really nothing anyone can say
    Oh, there's only just one way

    So let it hurt, let it bleed
    Let it take you right down to your knees
    Let it burn to the worst degree
    May not be what you want, but it's what you need
    Sometimes the only way around it
    Is to let love do it's work
    So go on
    Yeah, let it hurt

    You might just find you're better for it
    When you let go and you learn
    To let it hurt, let it bleed
    Let it take you right down to your knees
    Oh
    Sometimes the only way around it
    Is to let love do it's work
    So go on
    And let it hurt
    Oh, let it hurt

    Seven forty two in the morning

  • Dede Reddish from AlabamaI have always loved Rascal Flatts. They know how to put words to music. And know what you are feeling right at that time. This is one song that I have picked out to be played at my funeral when the time has come. So many to choose from. But for me to find the right one, was not that hard. Thank you Rascal Flatts for your music
