I Know You're Hurting.

I can see you're standing on the edge Your legs upon the ledge of life's afflictions I know you're a master of disguise, you are Underneath that soft and gentle smile you put on this morning You give when you have little left to give You ballroom dance with hollow "how are you"s (How are you, how are you?) Your body aches from marching up your mountains But you always keep pushing on You always keep pushing on (You always keep pushing on) I know life can be a bitch, some call her "Monday" And I'm thinking of you, dear, I hope you're okay Maybe there's a hole you're hiding somewhere And you hide it so well, you do, I must say But I know you're hurting And deep down there something's burning (And deep down there something's burning) If you need two more arms to hold these burdens, I am here I said a prayer for you, I hope it's working Please, my dear, don't stop believing in miracles You always find some kind words for a stranger I wish that you could find some for yourself, ah You claw yourself apart in private moments And over bruises you put plasters on Where life has dealt another losing hand You bite your tongue and tense your thighs to stand You know that you can't be so strong alone All the time so please stop trying to be so strong all alone, all alone You don't have to do this all alone Even though I know Oh, I, I know you're hurting, I know That deep down there something's burning, I know If you need two more arms to hold these burdens, I am here I said a prayer for you, I hope it's working Please, my dear, don't stop believing in miracles I know it's hurting It's just 6:30 I know it's hurting Pray Lord, have mercy I know He's working Oh (I know He's working) I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know I know it's hurting It's just gone Thursday Ain't this some damn feeling? Ain't all of us just looking for some healing? And while we wait for it For the sweeter days to find us Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shake off the devils that's lurking And close your eyes and let this music get to working If you're listening to this, I need you to hear me now Don't you give up on your life Stay with me now Oh, don't give up on your life It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay It's gonna be fine, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay It's gonna be okay
