Sometimes Love Hurts Shane Thornton

Lovers would come to the top of the mountain
To ask if the wise man would talk about love
The answer he gave them was always the same
He said "All that I knows what I've seen from above"
But they say that a wise man is only the strong one
Lived through the trouble he caused in his life
I fought for my country, I've tended my own wounds
Don't call me wise till you've walked in my shoes

I've seen the shores of nations afar
I've stormed their castles, I've been in these walls
I've heard the cries of the rich and the poor
I've fought my own battles and lived through them all
They say that the tears of a good woman cryin'
Is caused by the the loss when her children leave home
They learn about life and they learn about love
They learn how to handle it all on their own

For all that I've done I've made those decisions
But the right ones weren't always the ones I made first
The heart of your true love is easily broken
I'm wise enough to know sometimes love hurts

In the valley below is a woman I loved
With all of my heart just a short time ago
I met a young maiden when my spirit was broken
I fancied my freedom and gave up my home
Now it don't take a wise man to know he's mistaken
When he leaves a good woman for love that's forlorn
She was my true love and I was all wrong
Now I sit on this mountain and cry all alone

And the lovers would come to the top of the mountain
To ask if the wise man would talk about love
The answer he gave was the same as before
He said "All that I knows what I've seen from above"
And sometimes the lovers would leave hand in hand
Where they walked to the valley with tears in their eyes
The wise man would weep, hoping they'd understand
Sometimes if you listen you can still hear him cry

For all that I've done I've made those decisions
But the right ones weren't always the ones I made first
The heart of your true love is easily broken now
I'm wise enough to know sometimes love hurts
