Lyrics

Hurts Like This

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I know we were broken by the words we never spoke until tonight

All the little things that we ignored and now we drag into the light

Holdin' back the river

Holdin' back the flood

I know we were broken by the words we never spoke until tonight

And it hurts like knowin' you're alone in the dark

And there's no way out

It hurts like tearin' you apart and your shell, but you make no sound

I never knew that it would hurt like this

It would hurt like this, hurt like, ah, ah

I never knew that it would hurt like this

It would hurt like this, hurt like, ah, ah

I never knew that it would hurt like this

It would hurt like this, hurt like, ah, ah

I never knew that it would hurt like this

It would hurt like this, hurt like, ah, ah

Hurt like, ah, ah

Hurt like, ah, ah

This

I know you had your reasons

And you're sleepin' tired of feelin' through the cracks

Everything we're doin'

All the weapons that we're using, pull us back

Holdin' back the river

Holdin' back the flood

I know you had your reasons

And you're sleepin' tired of feelin' through the cracks

And it hurts like knowin' you're alone in the dark

And there's no way out

It hurts like tearin' you apart and your shell, but you make no sound

I never knew that it would hurt like this

It would hurt like this, hurt like, ah, ah

I never knew that it would hurt like this

It would hurt like this, hurt like, ah, ah

This

Hurt like this

Hurt like, ah, ah

Hurt like, ah, ah

I never knew that it would hurt like this

It would hurt like this, hurt like, ah, ah

I never knew that it would hurt like this

It would hurt like this, hurt like, ah, ah
