I'd Rather Hurt

If I had my way

I'd save this heart from breaking apart

I would not let it go on hurting

I would let you go

And just forget we ever met

I would try to erase you from my head

But something's here I just don't know

My heart just wouldn't let you go

Though it hurts to let you linger on inside my head

And I would shed some tears each time I read

These letters here beneath my bed

I'd rather hurt than to forget

Though I let you go

Your memories will stay with me

I've no regrets of having loved you

I want you to know

That you will forever be

And always will be a part of me

'Cause something's here I just don't know

My heart just wouldn't let you go

Though it hurts to let you linger on inside my head

And I would shed some tears each time I read

These letters here beneath my bed

I'd rather hurt than to forget

I will wait here for you

If it takes my whole life through

To have you back just like before

I will wait for the day

When finally I would hear you say

You're coming back to me to stay, you're here to stay

Yeah, something's here I just don't know

My heart just wouldn't let you go

Though it hurts to let you linger on inside my head

And I would shed some tears each time I read

These letters here beneath my bed

I'd rather hurt than to forget

I'd rather hurt than to forget
