Cause it Hurts

Lyrics From Demo

[Verse 1]

I had a friend I knew in the ninth grade

And he didn't come to class one day

'Cause they found something inside his brain

So they sent him home

So, I went to see him after school

I said, "Is there something I can do

That might make you feel more comfortable?"

And he told me, "No"

[Pre-Chorus]

He said, "I'm happy that you made it, please don't treat me like your patient

I don't need more medication", mm

[Chorus]

The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts

So, anything that takes away my pain will make it worse

'Cause, if I'm numb, I might as well be underneath the dirt

The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts

Is 'cause it hurts

[Verse 2]

And I won't forget the things he said

Every time I start to feel depressed

To be grateful that I still have breath down inside my lungs

'Cause without the darkness, there's no light

And without the pain, there'd be no life

So, even when it hurts inside, I won't try to run

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll be happy that I made it, I'll be open, I'll embrace it

I won't take no medication, mm

[Chorus]

The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts

So, anything that takes away my pain will make it worse

'Cause, if I'm numb, I might as well be underneath the dirt

The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts

Is 'cause it hurts

The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts

So, anything that takes away my pain will make it worse

'Cause, if I'm numb, I might as well be underneath the dirt, mm-mm

The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts

[Outro]

Dum-da-da, dum-da-da, dum-da-da-da

Is 'cause it hurts

Dum-da-da, dum-da-da, dum-da-da-da (Mm-mm, mm, mm)

Is 'cause it hurts

Dum-da-da, dum-da-da, dum-da-da-da

Is 'cause it hurts
