Lyrics

I Would Rather

[Verse 1]

I may not know where I'm going

But I'm on my way

Truth worked its ways into my dreams

And decided to stay

[Chorus]

But I would rather be hurt

I would be rather be hurt (By the truth)

Than consoled by hope and lies

Yes, I would rather be hurt (Rather be hurt)

I would rather be hurt (By the truth)

And let go of dreams I can live up to

[Verse 2]

I may not know where I'm going

But at least I can see

How ignorance and delusion were reaching for me

[Chorus]

Though I would rather be hurt (Rather be hurt)

I would be rather be hurt (By the truth)

Than consoled by hope and lies

Yes, I would rather be hurt (Rather be hurt)

I would rather be hurt (By the truth)

And let go of dreams I can live up to

[Outro]

Rather be hurt

Rather be hurt

By the truth

By the truth

By the truth

Rather be hurt

By the truth

Rather be hurt

By the truth

Yes, I would rather be hurt (Rather be hurt)

I would rather be hurt (By the truth)

By the truth
