Speak softly, sometimes words can land so hard   Come near me, we don't even have to talk   Practice of breaking heart      Can become something all around   And then look on your face   What you're saying ain't light to trace      You know it's gonna hurt   Get in line with the broken hearted, oh   (Oh)   You know it's going to hurt   That's the way the whole thing started, oh, oh   (Oh)   You know it's gonna hurt      And so we'll see, that's the pressures of our words   And we'll long through, we'll long through   All our faith and consolation      If added up the pleasures and pain   Can equal shares of things unsaid   Some things we'll have to be right about   While we're so cruel to ourselves      You know it's gonna hurt   Get in line with the broken hearted   (Oh)   You know it's going to hurt   That's the way the whole thing started, oh, oh   (Oh)      Tell this thing you lose, you love him baby   We just need a little time   Even if it takes forever to mend this heart   Mend this heart of yours and this heart of mine      Oh, you know it's gonna hurt   Get in a line with the broken hearted, oh   (Oh)   You know it's going to hurt   That's the way the whole thing started, oh   (Oh)      You know it's gonna hurt   (You know it's gonna hurt)   That's the way the whole thing started   (Oh)      (You know it's gonna hurt)   What becomes of the broken hearted   (Oh)   Yours and mine      (You know it's gonna hurt)   Just need a little time   (Oh)   And the healing baby      (You know it's gonna hurt)   You know it's going to hurt   (Oh)   And that's the way the whole thing started   (You know it's gonna hurt)
