Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast the truth
Don't want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in L.A.
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing
Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
'Cause without love I won't survive [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/incubus/love_hurts.html ]
I'm fettered and abused
Stand naked and accused
Should I surface, this one-man submarine?
I only want the truth!
So tonight we drink to youth!
I'll never lose what I had as a boy
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
'Cause without love I won't survive
Without love I won't survive
Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
'Cause without love I won't survive
Love hurts, ohhh-oh ohh
Love hurts
Without love I won't survive
Love hurts la-la-la-la-la-la oh
Love hurts
Without love I won't survive
Yea love does hurt... But we love and love and love and love all over again as if we didn't learn the first time we got broken... There's just something about it that makes us feel happy.. And we don't know exactly what it is...

It's about growing up - from innocence to experience and how scary that transition can be as well as love and all it's wonders as well as the pain.

Hahahha! I agree .. Love hurts especially when it is true... But i dont think there's a good hurt? Hehe... Dont know how does it feels like.. Lol:-d
I think it is about masturbation or maybe a porn addiction. Look at the hints. Surface a one man submarine. Stand naked and accused. Never what to lose what i had when i was a boy. Sometimes when i am alone wonder is there a spell that i am under keeping me from seeing the real thing. It seems to fit. Still i like the song.
I think the lyrics the and the melody of this song mean different things. The music makes you feel like its about a broken heart but lyrics are about missing any kind of real emotion .. Even the pain of love seems a good thing fom inside a cage
Lol. This song is awesome. Because it's so right. It is saying that sometimes love hurting is a good thing because it can make you feel something. And plus i just love incubus, and it was one of my and my ex boyfriend's songs... Lol
I absolutely love this band and am a huge fan of their music! They always have something profound to say. Their songs have meaning and gives to the world true artistic expression. A gift rarely received in todays music - thank you incubus for being a truly gifted band and sharing it with us.
