Only Love Can Hurt Like This Lyrics

Only Love Can Hurt Like This

This big ballad was penned by American songwriter Dianne Warren, who has previously written hits for the likes of Cher ("If I Could Turn Back Time") and Aerosmith ("I Don't Want to Miss a Thing").

This is one of several tracks on A Perfect Contradiction that find Faith singing about the dark side of love. "I do think I'm a tragic romantic," she told The Metro. "Actually, the benchmark was Candi Staton's 'Young Hearts Run Free,' that kind of song where you acknowledge hardship or sadness but you inject hope into it."

"When it comes on at a party, everyone just thinks: 'Yeah, some hard things have happened, I'm often my own worst enemy – but screw it, let's dance,'" she added.

Having trouble playing along to this song? That's because it was recorded slightly out of tune. Whether on purpose or by mistake is unknown, but Sound on Sound suggests it may be the result of fooling around with the playback rate at the end of production to adjust the tempo. While certain software can do the job without affecting the pitch, it can also produce an unwanted warbling sound.

It's the Not Knowing Lyrics

It's not that you might leave me lonely
I know I could cope if your heart became a ghost
I know what to do when I'm on my own
It's the Not Knowing, that hurts, the most

It's not that if you told me you met someone better
Or if you had to break a promise, break an oath
If you prefer to feel some other's touch
It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most

In your silence, I sense a thousand words
Your eyes are sad but you still smile
You're right beside me, but are you even here

It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most
It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most

I'm sure you meant all that you said, at the time
I believe you can't be made of stone
We both know it's OK to change your mind
It's just the not knowing, that hurts, the most

In your silence, I sense a thousand words
Your eyes are sad but you still smile
You're right beside me, but are you even here

It's just the not knowing, that hurts, the most

I can tell, your head is somewhere else
I can read the signs that I need help
I can take your truth, tell me
Tell me what I know
Don't be a coward boy
Let me free just, let me go

We haven't said it but I know it
So hold me one last time before you go
You gave me so much to remember, baby
It was just the not knowing, that hurt the most
