Hurts Like Hell

[Verse]

It took a lot for you to drive over

It took getting over it

Letting loose on the front lawn

Shorts and boots on, hose running on a low drip

You had to shed your armor a little bit

Stop thinking you weren′t wanted

You had to get out of your house

That place was feeling kinda haunted

[Pre-Chorus]

You took a drive to the guy

Karen said, "You can't make it if you never even try"

And you can′t feel the wind blow if you never go outside

[Chorus]

You can get out of your shell for a minute

You can even rebel for a minute

So hard to tell when you're in it

'Cause it hurts like hell when you′re in it

You can get out of your shell for a minute

You can even rebel for a minute

So hard to tell when you′re in it

'Cause it hurts like hell when you′re in it

[Verse]

He looked a little surprised

Some confusion in his eyes

Hair long and wild as hell

When he opened the door after you rang the bell

You didn't stay to get a reaction

Didn′t give yourself time for traction

You just bolted, crestfallen

Crying in your car, thinking, "How appalling"

[Pre-Chorus]

You took a drive, blue sky

Karen said, "You can't make it if you never even try"

And you can′t feel the wind blow if you never go outside

[Chorus]

You can get out of your shell for a minute

You can even rebel for a minute

So hard to tell when you're in it

'Cause it hurts like hell when you′re in it

You can get out of your shell for a minute

You can even rebel for a minute

So hard to tell when you′re in it

'Cause it hurts like hell when you′re in it

[Bridge]

When you got home from work

He was standing on your porch

Hands in his pockets

Leaning, looking honest

He said, "You didn't give me time to answer

I didn′t even need to think it over

I guess I'm just slow at responding

But I think I want what you want

And I′m sorry I left you wondering"

[Chorus]

You can get out of your shell for a minute

You can even rebel for a minute

So hard to tell when you're in it

'Cause it hurts like hell when you′re in it

You can get out of your shell for a minute

You can even rebel for a minute

So hard to tell when you′re in it

'Cause it hurts like hell when you′re in it

It just hurts like hell when you're in it

It just hurts like hell when you′re in it

It just hurts like hell when you're in it

Yeah, it hurts like hell
