Sometimes Love Don't Treat You Right (Song Lyric)

Well, we've all been there together
when her words cut through the heart;
She's leaving you forever;
She wants a fresh new start;
Then you watch in helpless silence
as she's heading out the door,
she turns and speaks her last goodbye:
"I don't love you anymore."
You never saw it coming,
You got blinded by the light;
Sometimes love don't treat you right;
Sometimes love don't treat you right.

The days seem to last forever
and they're filled with aching pain
from memories shared together,
you try but can't explain
what went wrong with her affection,
there's no way to understand;
Did she find a better lover
or were you not her kind of man?
And you can't escape the loneliness
that haunts you day and night;
Sometimes love don't treat you right;
Sometimes love don't treat you right.

So you struggle on in your shattered world
feeling lost and all alone,
and it's hard to face another day
when the one you love is gone;
The desperation builds inside you
like the tide on stormy seas
until at last the truth can find you
and then you'll rise off bended knees.

One day the clouds will clear up
and you'll see in brighter skies
the birds still sing their lovesong,
the sun still dares to rise;
The truth of love is constant:
to lose, it's no disgrace;
It's just the way God planned it,
it's something we all face;
You'll chalk this up to a lesson learned,
one you just can't fight,
Sometimes love don't treat you right (my friend);
Sometimes love don't treat you right.
