A World Of Hurt
Album(s): A Blessing and A Curse,Sung by: Patterson Hood

Once upon a time, my advice to you would have been to go out and find yourself a whore.
But I guess I've grown up, because I don't give that kind of advice anymore.
Gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
I was 27 when I figured out that blowing my brains out wasn't the answer.
So I decided, maybe I should find a way to make this world work out for me.
And my good friend Paul was 83 when he told me "To love is to feel pain."
And I thought about that a lot back then and I think about that again and again.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
To love is to feel pain, there ain't no way around it.
The very nature of love is to grieve when it's over.
The secret to a happy ending is to know when to roll the credits.
Better roll them now before something else goes wrong.
You know, it's a wonderful world, if you can put aside the sadness
and hang on to every ounce of beauty upon you.
Better take the time to know it, there ain't no way around it.
If you feel anything at all.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
So if what you have is working for you or you think that it stands a reasonable chance
and if whatever's broken seems fixable and nothing's beyond repair.
If you still think about each other and smile before you remember how screwed up it's gotten.
Or maybe dream of a time less rotten.
Remember, it ain't too late to take a deep breath and throw yourself into it with everything you got.
It's great to be alive.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
It's gonna be a world of hurt.
