It's Better to Have Loved and Lost Lyrics

[Chorus]
It's better to have loved and lost
Than to never have love at all
It's better to have loved and lost
Than to never have love at all

When I lost the love I knew
No one knew what I was going through
A friend of mine saw the pain I felt
She said, "stop feeling sorry for yourself"
All my heartaches and all my pains
Is caused by love, but it's not a thing

[Chorus]

Now I smile from the tears I cried
I thank the Lord it didn't pass me by
People searched their whole life through
And never find the love anew
They ache inside and they're all alone
And needed something they never own

It's better (to have loved and lost)
I know it's better (have love at all)

[interlude]

You walked away with all I've known
Somehow, some way I must carry on
If I'll never find true love again,
Each time I lose, I tried to win
I felt love inside and out
The love I found is turn all around

It's better, I know it's better
I believe it's better (to have loved and lost)
I know it's better (have love at all)
I believe it's better (to have loved and lost)
I know it's better (have love at all)
Oh, I believe it's better (to have loved and lost)
Yeah, I know it's better
