what does this phrase mean
I've read the lyrics of Adel's song "Someone Like You" and haven't understood this passage:
(Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said)
"Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead."
What's "it" (it lasts, it hurts)?relationship?

In what I've seen with the entire verse, she speaks about wishing the best for someone. 'It" refers to that feeling of wanting someone to be happy.
"Sometimes it (being happy/having the best) lasts in love" means that both people are in love and together and their lives are great with one another.
"Sometimes it (being happy/having the best) hurts instead" means that one person is still in love but understands that the the life they offer to the one they love is not the best or is not great. maybe they fought a lot. So the person who is filled with love for another is hurting because they had to let them go and be happy with someone else.
