The song "I Guess It Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes" was written by Randy VanWarmer and is said to be inspired by the passing of his father, with the lyrics reflecting a sense of grief and the idea that sometimes, even painful emotions can be a part of healing and remembering a loved one who is gone; the song is often interpreted as a way to acknowledge the pain of loss without trying to suppress it completely.
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel a wave
Of a past break in my mind
And I know it's gone for good
And it makes me want to cry
Is this all we get to keep
As the years go rollin' by
Just a memory
For all the days gone by.
[Chorus]
Oh you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye
Oh I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes.
You try and hold on to the moment
But time won't let you stay
But for every step you take
You lose something on the way
You can't look forward to tomorrow
And still hold on to yesterday
Oh I hope that you can hear me
When I'm saying
