[Verse 1]
Another long and sleepless night
You need someone to hold you tight
Sometimes love don't know wrong from right
Another long and senseless
Fight was all you knew, they're all the same
There's no one left to take the blame
What's behind this masquerade?
How do we win these losing
Games we play, words we say?
Cutting wounds, we know, they run so deep

[Pre-Chorus]
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you

[Chorus]
(Only lonely, oh)
I can't stop hurting you
(Only lonely, oh)
But I can't stop loving you
(Only lonely, oh)
How much pain does it take?

[Verse 2]
It's getting sometimes I don't know
When to stop, when to go
Sometimes we're so afraid to let it show
A stolen kiss so out of place
It wipes the smile right off your face
And when those feelings start
We let them go, let them go
[Pre-Chorus]
Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds that run so deep
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you

[Chorus]
(Only lonely, oh)
I can't stop hurting you
(Only lonely, oh)
But I can't stop loving you
(Only lonely, oh)
So tell me, babe

How much pain can you take
Before your heart breaks?
Before your heart breaks, yeah

[Bridge]
I got this time bomb ticking, in my head
This time I think she's gonna blow
How can I say get away
When I just can't let go?

[Pre-Chorus]
Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds that run so
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you
[Chorus]
(Only lonely, oh)
I can't stop hurting you
(Only lonely, oh)
But I can't stop loving you
(Only lonely, oh)
So tell me, babe, how much pain can you take
Before your heart breaks?
