healing hurts

[Verse 1] I expected the exhaustion and the days I couldn't get out of bed I expected the prescriptions and the pain I felt in my head I thought slowly I'd start feeling better I'd stitch my life back together one day at a time In one long straight line [Chorus] But healing fucking hurts sometimes I wish I would've known I probably would've closed my eyes Waited 'til it was all over It gets better 'til it just gets worse A full-time job isn't this much work I know that I'll survive, but Healing fucking hurts sometimes [Verse 2] I expected for a few weeks, I might not feel quite like myself I expected someone to tell me, some explanation for what I'd felt But now it's been more than a year, and I still don't have any clear-cut answers And asking just feels like slipping backwards [Chorus] Yeah, healing fucking hurts sometimes I wish I would've known I probably should've closed my eyes Waited 'til it was all over Yeah, it gets better 'til it just gets worse A full-time job isn't this much work I know that I'll survive, but Healing fucking hurts sometimes [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Mm-mm [Bridge] No one told me it would get this lonely I-I-I-I spent six months piecing back together Who I was, will it be forever? So jaded, done with being patient I-I-I-I'm sick of hearing that I'll be fine [Chorus] 'Cause healing fucking hurts sometimes I wish I would've known Someone told me to close my eyes Wait until it was all over Yeah, it gets better 'til it just gets worse A full-time job isn't this much work I know that I survived, but Healing fucking hurts sometimes
