How Long Does It Hurt (when A Heart Breaks)

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks?

How long can you stand the pain?

How long does one dream when a dream die

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'll never do

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks?

As long as I keep loving you
