Being hurt by someone you love Quote by Eric Clapton
“And how do I choose and where do I draw the line Between truth and necessary pain? And how do I know and where do I get my belief That things will be all right again? What words do I use to try and explain To those who have witnessed all my tears? And what does it mean to know all these things When love's been wasted all these years Standing in the shadows With my heart right in my hand, Removed from other people Who could never understand. I was a pilgrim for your love”
