Lauryn Hill - When It Hurts So Bad Lyrics






When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad
Why's it feel so good?
When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad
Why's it feel so good?

I loved real, real hard once
But the love wasn't returned
Found out the man I'd die for
He wasn't even concerned
I tried, and I tried, and I tried
To keep him in my life
I cried, and I cried, and I cried
But I couldn't make it right
But I, I loved the young man
And if you've ever been in love,
Then you'd understand

What you want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don't catch it,
If you don't catch it,
And what you need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just let it,
If you just let it

See, I thought this feeling
It was all that I had
But how could this be love
And make me feel so bad?
Gave up my power,
I existed for you
But whoever knew the voodoo you'd do?
But I, I loved the young man
And if you've ever been in love you'd understand
What you want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don't catch it
And what you need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just let it,
What you want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don't catch it
And what you need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just let it,
If you just let it

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad
Why's it feel so good?
When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad
Why's it feel so good?
When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad
When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad
When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad
When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

    A relationship with someone I spent so much time, tears, and memories with has ended and all I received was a text. This song was my go to❤️ She reminds me that someone who’s capable of walking out on you without even a call... has no place in my life. Even if that someone is a person you would give to world too.

  46. F.... t....

    funny, I was just studying Yoruba language and meditating on how interesting/deep it is that the same verb "dun" can mean happiness or pain depending on context and surrounding grammar...

    F.... t....

    Ha! Lots of Yoruba words have double meaning but I never even thought about that one... Very deep

  47. K.... W....

  62. N.... ....

    So I'm guessing this was about her relationship with Wyclef

  63. M.... B....

    2 years down the line and I'm still the one crying over you. May the tables soon turn and may I get to rejoice the same way you have. Nobody deserves this kind of pain.

    M.... B....

    2 yrs? Try 20 and 3 kids and buried a baby and he turned around and married someone else...but im still standing... If my dad didnt break me why ima let a nigga ? Love is real but niggahs aint....

  64. B.... P....

    A girl accepted into Columbia University, chose music, instead. Go Lauryn!!!

  66. J.... M....

    This is me right now. And I promise it feels like its never going to go away.

    J.... M....

    Then you need to level up. The second you grow it goes away

  67. A.... N....

    Yasssssssss

  68. A.... N....

    Yasssssssss

  69. S.... T....

    Went to her concert and it was well worth it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  70. E.... E....

    I made a mistake by walking out on you. I was triggered by past trauma and in that moment I couldn't re-live the pain. So I ran.
    I never meant to hurt you and I know you never meant to hurt me. Can we please move on from this?


    ....

    I existed for you.

  71. T.... M....

    Still listening 2018 anyone?

    T.... M....

    Yes sir , still going strong and still stands the test of Time! This album though, the teacher , man the subtle hints and connecting with the youth is really what we need for today’s youth!

    T.... M....

    Until my death.

  72. J.... L....

    Wyclef..wyclef....wyclef...shame on u

  78. d.... s....

    Real Shit

  79. B.... G....

    I hate it that my wife and a few exss see me this way. My intentions was good. But my actions sometimes showed different

  80. C.... K....

    Me asf!!! 2018

  81. L.... ....

    Lmao she really didn’t write this smh I can’t believe this shit

    L.... ....

  82. C.... L....

    A TRUE ICON.

  83. C.... ....

    🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

  84. V.... b....

    Wow!! I have always loved❤❤ this song & Beyonce's new song "Summer" sounds so identical to this song.

  85. M.... A....

    The saddest truest song ever made. Why does something that hurt so bad feel so good. I wonder if I love pain. Becoming accustomed to pain thinking that's is love is a sad place to be. 💔😥

    M.... A....

    MsMesha Ambitious Love is everything!!

    M.... A....

    Utopia X love is sad. And painful. The person I love ummm don't idk 💔

    M.... A....

    You can't have the Sun without the Rain and Joy without pain. Balance .
    Stay up sweetheart! Peace. Love and light!!

  86. D.... G....

    I used to play this song a lot to give her hints either she didn't get it or didn't care hopefully the latter and not the former..moved on got my boy found a SISTA that did get it..she loved my son like her own happy life..some times it was just never meant to be..no matter how hard you try..but when that scare over your heart heals..keep pushing..keep it moving..

  87. I.... #....

    Damn, this some real deal stuff here.

  88. D.... S....

    BUT I loved the young man!

    Sitting in the house with a newborn baby and my relatshionship with her dad has ended I begged and cried for him to work it out and Change. His response was you can't change a grown ass man which is true . But I feel so sick . I'm a single mom now. And he doesn't want me anymore. I hope some good comes out of this right now my world is caving in
