You’ve Got to Hurt Before You Heal by Gregg Martinez Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you lose the one you love your heart goes through changes
Especially when the sweet memories still hold their thrill
And just when you think the pain is all gone
Don’t fool yourself cause here’s the deal
That’s the way love works
You’ve got to hurt before you heal
Oh yes you have
You’re gonna cry oh you’re gonna cry
When the tears they may stop falling
They may stop falling down your face
But they still fall down your heart
You’ll never know how long a wound will take to heal
It might take months it could take years

[Chorus]
But that’s the way love works
You’ve got to hurt before you heal
I said before you heal

[Verse 2]
You’re gonna cry oh you’re gonna cry
When the tears they may stop falling
They may stop falling down your face
But they still fall down your heart
Oh you never know how long the wound takes to heal
Might take months it could take years
But that’s the way love works
You’ve got to hurt before you heal
Oh yes you have
Just when you think the pain is all gone
Don’t fool yourself cause here’s the deal
[Chorus]
That’s the way love works
You’ve got to hurt before you heal
Oh yes you have
That’s the way love works
Lord you’ve got to hurt before you heal

Lets sing it one more time y’all
That’s the way love works
You’ve got to hurt before you heal
I said before you heal
That’s the way love works
