When the words that you wanted to say
Are all coming out wrong
When you burst into tears
Though you’re trying so hard to be strong, oh
We’re standing in the line of fire
Trying to make two wrongs a right
Hurt lovers, hurt, hurt lovers, oh
Don’t give up, don’t, don’t give up, no
Take cover, you can’t just let it go
You gotta try, you gotta try
So when all that you ever believe
Comes apart at the seams
And when all of the bridges you build
Wash away in the stream, oh
Whatever comes, it’s not the end
We gotta fight and take a stand
Hurt lovers, hurt, hurt lovers, oh
Don’t give up, don’t, don’t give up, no
Take cover, you can’t just let it go
You gotta try, you gotta try
Hurt lovers, hurt so bad and then
You find something to make things
right again
It don’t matter who wins out in the end
You gotta try, you gotta try
Even when you lose heart
And you played your last cards
You know, you know
We’re standing in the line of fire
Trying to make two wrongs a right
Hurt lovers, hurt, hurt lovers, oh
Don’t give up, don’t, don’t give up, no
You gotta try, you gotta try
Hurt lovers, hurt, hurt lovers
So don’t give up, don’t give up, no
Take cover, you can’t just let it go
You gotta try, you gotta try
Hurt lovers hurt so bad and then
You find something to make things
right again
It don’t matter who wins out in the end
You gotta try, you gotta try
