hit the ground runnin'

i'll save you the trouble of a big heartache

no since you're livin' with the same mistake

i suffered hurt long and hard

it didn't change a thing

i looked in the mirror and i told my face

you know

self pity is a total waste

i suddenly understood

i could live again

you gotta hit the ground runnin'

better kick up dirt

you gotta find new lovin'

you better hit the ground runnin' when your heart gets hurt

you better hit the ground runnin' when your heart gets hurt

nobody breaks even when a lovet goes bust

you might as well leave em' in a cloud of dust

no matter if it's meant to be if it's tearing you apart

no magic motion turns the bad to good

no crossing your fingers or knocking on wood

life toughens you when your down or it breaks your heart

you gotta hit the ground runnin'

better kick up dirt

you gotta find new lovin'

you better hit the ground runnin' when your heart gets hurt

you better hit the ground runnin' when your heart gets hurt

you gotta hit the ground runnin'

better kick up dirt

gotta find new lovin'

you better hit the ground runnin' when your heart gets hurt
