Analysis of Healing Pains
Real Jem 1979 (USA)
Whatever made your heart burst
Let it hurt, let it crush you the worst
Wasn’t your time nor was it your turn
Let it burn until the lesson is learned
You weren’t good enough for their needs
Let it bleed all the way down to your knees
All your love & loyalty they couldn’t feel
Let it heal & mend until your smile is real
Allow your pain & tears to help you grow
Let it go, it’s time to let your strength show
