GHow Clong does it D7hurt when a Gheart breaks
How long can you Cstand the Gpain
How Clong does one D7dream when a Gdream dies
And Conly the D7memories Gremain

How Clong does it D7hurt when a Gheart breaks
Oh how many Ctears must Gfall
BeCfore one is D7free from the Gchains of
A Clove that's D7beyond all Grecall

I Ckeep saying soon I'll Gforget you
But somehow I never D7do
How Clong does it D7hurt when a Gheart breaks
As Clong as I D7keep loving Gyou
