Text: Alecia Elliott. Every Heart.

Every heart has to hurt sometimes
Every lover knows who's ever been left behind
Every time you told me, every time I believe
It would never be mine, I was just standin' in line
Every heart has to hurt sometimes

I've always been on the other side of goodbye
Handin' out answers to someone else's why
Baby, don't wait for me to ask you not to go
Way down inside I know, now I know

Every heart has to hurt sometimes
Every lover knows who's ever been left behind
Every time you told me, every time I believe
It would never be mine, I was just standin' in line
Every heart has to hurt sometimes

I guess it finally got around to bein' me
Nothin' you do or say is gonna make it easy

Every heart has to hurt sometimes
Every lover knows who's ever been left behind
Every time you told me, every time I believe
It would never be mine, I was just standin' in line
Every heart has to hurt sometimes

Every heart
Oo, when you know it's gonna hurt sometimes
Oh yeah
When you know it's gonna hurt sometimes
