It Only Hurts for a Little While
Healing Hearts: A Brief Journey Through Love's Temporary Pain
Lyrics
It's all over town that we've parted,
Word has spread in the community that we have separated.
And everyone knows that we're through;
Everyone is aware that our relationship has come to an end.
They see me alone broken hearted
People observe me being alone and emotionally devastated.
Crying the blues for you.
I am expressing my sorrow and singing the blues because of our breakup.
It only hurts for a little while,
The pain of the breakup is temporary.
That's what they tell me, that's what they say.
Others advise me that the emotional distress will be brief.
It only hurts for a little while
Reiteration of the idea that the hurt is only temporary.
Then all your heartaches will pass away.
Assurance that all the emotional pain will eventually fade away.
It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart
It's easy to give advice about handling heartbreak when it's not your own.
But I don't know where to start forgetting you
Expressing difficulty in starting the process of forgetting and moving on.
What can I do?
A sense of helplessness, questioning what actions can be taken.
It only hurts for a little while
Reiteration of the temporary nature of the pain.
That's what they tell me, "Just wait and se."
Others advise patience, suggesting that the pain will subside with time.
But I will hurt, 'til you come back to me.
Despite the advice, the singer acknowledges that the hurt will persist until the partner returns.
It only hurts for a little while,
Repetition of the idea that the pain is short-lived.
That's what they tell me, that's what they say.
Others continue to emphasize the temporary nature of the hurt.
It only hurts for a little while
Reiteration of the belief that the emotional distress will eventually end.
Then all your heartaches will pass away.
Confirmation that all the heartaches will eventually pass away.
It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart
Highlighting the ease of giving advice about someone else's heartbreak.
But I don't know where to start forgetting you
Admitting the challenge of figuring out how to start forgetting the former partner.
