It's Better to Have Loved and Lost

[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
