[Chorus:] After a while, after a while
This too shall pass
After a while
Scars will heal, you'll love again
It won't hurt you after a while
It won't hurt after a while

[Verse 1:] Stuck between if and when
You pray and tried
But still no end
God's purpose soon you'll understand
It won't hurt you after a while
It won't hurt you after a while

[Chorus:] [Verse 2:] So when the pain has come to an end
And now your heart is whole again
Help someone who needs to know
That it won't hurt them after a while
It won't hurt them after a while
It wont hurt them after a while
