It Only Hurts For A While
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.
You were striving for the other side
Rushing just to get by
Something, somewhere
Always better than today
I said, it doesn't always have to be like that
Sometimes you lose
But you get it all back
It's just the way it is, way it is
Like a shotgun to your head
It only hurts for a while
Don't let go
It only hurts for a while
I know, and we'll keep holding on
Holding on
I know you're scared and don't wanna try
But it's the only way I know you'll get by
It's just the way it is, way it is
Like a shotgun to your head
And it only hurts for a while
Don't let go
It only hurts for a while
I know, that we'll hold on
10 years ahead
There'll be songs
To sing out for you, boy
10 years ahead, run, run, run
You've just began
Don't let go
I know you can forget
You can forget
But it's true
It's true, it's true
The world is here for you
I see you for who you are
Not the one you want to be
You're almost there
Can't you see
Open your eyes start, believing
Don't let go
Don't stop dreaming
You're almost there
You're on you way
You're almost there, you're on your way
10 years ahead
There'll be songs
To sing out for you, boy
10 years ahead, run, run, run
You've just began
Don't let go
I know you can forget
You can forget
But it's true
It's true, it's true
The world is here for you
