Thats What You Get With Matters of the Heart

The aching muscle beats within your chest The decision you make will put you to the test It’s not all fair to us in love and war Win or lose you bear the scars with your score We all hurt with love right from the start But that’s what you get with matters of the heart Can you survive the onslaught of emotion As you stand by your mate with deep devotion The give and take seems too much to bear But the payoff in time nothing else can compare We all hurt with love right from the start But that’s what you get with matters of the heart The pain you hide runs cold in your blood The tears you cry drowns you in an overwhelming flood Is it worth it only the future can ever tell Is love a slice of heaven or a nightmare living hell We all hurt with love right from the start But that’s what you get with matters of the heart

I think we all get a slice of each in a relationship. A lot of us can't find the right mis sadly. A sad truth found in your verse.
