The song "Love Hurts" by Nazareth is a song about the disappointments and pain that love can bring. It suggests that love can bring both joy and sadness, and that it can hurt just as much as it can heal. The lyrics speak of a deep sadness and longing to find a love that won't hurt, and a shared understanding that sometimes love just doesn't work out, even if you want it to. However, the song also maintains that, despite the pain, it's still worth taking the risk of heartache because it can bring great joy as well.
